The 2012 USA National Team is a squad that we haven’t seen since the 92’ Dream Team. In 2008 the talent was nearly the same, but the maturity of these current stars have blossomed and many of them are in their prime. I just don’t see a team beating the USA team in the Olympics. When you have Kevin Durant coming off the bench, you know you have a deep and solid team. The USA team we saw in 04’ is no more. Bronze is not acceptable and these stars will make sure they come home with a consecutive gold medal. The U.S. blew out the Dominican Republic team last week. It wasn’t even close and it was just an exhibition game.
I’m going to put this to bed now guys, the 1992 USA Dream Team is better than this 2012 squad. Not to take anything away from these young stars, but you had Jordan, Pippen, Magic and Bird; need I say more? Don’t get me wrong, I think that the 2012 team could compete with the Dream Team, but only just that. I understand Kobe and his comments. He had to say what he said. What was he going to say, that this team isn’t good enough? Bryant knows deep down this squad would get torched. I do think that many of these players on the current roster wouldn't make the 92' Dream Team. Just a thought people.
I think that the more the USA National Team plays more games the more dangerous they are going to be. Let’s watch and see. They haven’t even jelled as of yet. With more practices and wins under their belts and no telling what this National team will be. I just know for sure that they will be putting that gold around their necks when it is all said and done. I just want to sit back and enjoy this summer and appreciate that the NBA has gone global. Do you guys think this USA team the real deal and do you think they will get the gold?
