Now there's no reason for USA's men's basketball squad to finish the tourney with less than a gold medal.
2004 Line-up: Tim Duncan, Lamar Odom, Emeka Okafor, Carmelo Anthony, Carlos Boozer, Richard Jefferson, Shawn Marion, Amare Stoudemire, LeBron James, Allen Iverson, Stephon Marbury, Dwyane Wade
2008 Line-up: Carlos Boozer, Jason Kidd, LeBron James, Deron Williams, Michael Redd, Kobe Bryant, Dwyane Wade, Dwight Howard, Chris Bosh, Chris Paul, Tayshaun Prince, Carmelo Anthony
The 2008 team has more team oriented players than the 2004 team. And they're out there proving that "NBA" basketball is far more superior than "FIBA" basketball.
