USA Basketball Team - will win gold medals in 2008 Olympics?

I think we all remember the original Dream Team, which dominated all other teams in the Olympic Games of 1992. The team was probably the best basketball team ever recorded and legendary players like Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, Larry Bird and many others. They showed everyone where the best basketball players in the world (I think, is that yet) played. 1994 and 1996 were also great teams and won the gold medal easily. In 2000 Olympics Team USA began to losePower. Although he still won the first place, but his triumph was so convincing. Over the years more and more all-star players refused to play for the U.S. national and ₩ 2,000 every major tournament since then.

USA Basketball Tournament was tested in 2007 and passed the FIBA Americas against everyone, including Argentina (118 to 81) their way to the first place. The training also on NBA All Stars and to expectations. Youcame with great individual performance, teamwork, caring, and Red Hot shot. The executive has changed, but I think it changed forever.

United States will never be able to combine an impressive team in the basketball team of 1992 was the 2008 team, however, sees much. And 'all the great defensive players (Tayshaun Prince, Jason Kidd), a brilliant passer (Chris Paul, Deron Williams), all markers stars (Kobe Bryant, LeBron James) to super-sportMen (Dwight Howard, Carlos Boozer). American players are becoming stronger and larger body than the tops of their opponents, and then Howard cure his micro-injury of Howard Boozer, Bosh front line is scary. Americans must do their best to keep track regain Games Olympic and I think the opportunities are good for them.

USA plays in Group B with Angola, China, World Champion in Spain and two qualifiers. 12 teams are still fighting for an OlympicBerth and will succeed only 3 of them. The favorites are Greece, Croatia, Germany, Slovenia, Puerto Rico and Brazil, and is very likely that the two national qualifiers, playing in Group B against the United States go to them later, but we can never know for sure. I doubt that NBA players do not is hard to beat Angola and China is a very strong opponent. China's national team has never been higher than a place to occupy in the eighth World Championshipsor Olympic Games. Of course, Yao is a serious force in the paint, but I would suggest that more afraid of Pau Gasol. Spain is the main rival to the Americans during the group stage and possibly the entire tournament. With his playing organized in Spain will be his team a great thread on this NBA All-Star and lets not forget the two qualifiers, perhaps the United States to face Greece - the team that knocked the American Basketball World Championships 2 years ago.

Eat the end of my prediction is that the U.S. is playing the deposition has won gold medals in Argentina with a rather large point lead in the final. I expect that game to win every game and the United States is the only stage is close to Spain in the group. I think that will be top scorer Carmelo Anthony, leading rebounder - Dwight Howard, the leading passer - Chris Paul. Yes, perhaps a bit 'too optimistic, but I think this year, USA Basketball is to show everyone that the rulesWorld. Good luck!
