I think with LeBron James and Kobe Bryant leading the team, along with others such as Dwayne Wade and Chris Paul, that the USA team will be the most technically superior team in the world. These are the very best of the best and they should be the favorites to win the gold. However, the reality is that they are still human, and I am not sure how they are going to work together. In addition, just one bad game means you are eliminated in the knockout stage. I think if it were run more like the NBA postseason, nobody would stand a chance, but the problem with that is it would take forever to determine a winner.
