Please... spare us the overconfidence. They BETTER bring their A-Game beacuse no team will backdown from them. I have no doubts they will win the Gold in the upcoming Olimpic Qualifier but that kind of overconfidence was what took that team to not 1 but 3 defeats in last years Championships.

Granted, this years team is FARRRRRRRRRRR better from that team, specially downlow where only J. O'neal had a semblance of a post up game.

I'm sorry, but it's kinda hard not to be. I mean, we have the world's best PG JKidd, 1 of the worlds best SG TMac (Kobe being the other, and he'll be there next year), and the worlds best PF TD. We didn't have that last year at all. They know what is at stake now, and being confident about our chances is not a bad thing.

You can be sure that with larry Brown at the helm, they won't be overconfident. He will make them work. The USA will be the overwhelming fav no doubt. But like I said, they can't come over underestimating the competition, specially vs Brazil, Argentina and PR beacuse you never know.........

Last year's team wasn't overconfident, It was brought down by George Karl's ineptness at bringing together the players as a team. If anyone was overconfident, it was the US, sending only one player who was top five NBA at his position, Paul Pierce. Other than him, there was no scoring. This year you have all top players (although personally I think PP should be there instead of VC) , no shortage of scoring, and a more capable coach.

I agree PP should've been there. He at least showed he had what it takes to play int'l ball. As far as us not being able to see the games, what were they thinking when they did this. This is important to our bball history, and they want to capitalize on it in this manner.

What is this, punishment for losing last year. I don't want the highlights, I want the games. IT'S THE OLYMPICS FOR CRYING OUT LOUD

Mike, me being a C's fan, I can only agree with you. PP was the only player who played like a REAL nba player. Since I will attend the upcoming tourney I would have loved that PP made the team, but at the same time, he will be more fresh for this season.
