I have to disagree about this U.S. basketball team being built on individuals. I watched the first two games, and they looked amazing. They beat Puerto Rico by 44 points, and Peurto Rico is ranked 11th in FIBA Rankings. They struggled with Brazil the other night, but that was their 3rd game since the previous Thursday. In that span of time, they also traveled from Vegas, to San Fran to Hong Kong, to China, that would take a lot out of any team. Coach K, is a good coach, and he has the team hungry to win. They are playing around a system. Someone on here said they didn't play defense, when in all acutality they have been forcing an average of 20 some turn overs a game and have been converting those into at least 30 fast break points. The other night they strugged in the first quarters against china and peurto rico, but slaughtered them in the 2,3, and 4th quarters. In the Peurto Rico game they went on a 31 to 4 run, and that run was started by defense. So in defense of the team... give them a break... they are growing as a team and mark my words, will win the world championships with a undefeated record, and will cruise to another olympic gold medal.
