Answer 1

Well they used to be but know I think that they have good competition on their hand  know. Look what happened the last olympic games,

scary!!

Answer 2

Well if you believe that then Brazil shouldn't be able to use all of their players in soccer, or Canada in hockey, or even Kenya in marathons.  Give me a break man.

Answer 3

I think it's just fair enough to the American team. It's not their fault if they're good in basketball. It's just like in any other sport that other countries dominates. It's just so happened that Americans are good in basketball. I love basketball and I'm thankful that USA team is around to give a great show. I'm very sure they will.

Answer 4

yeah, the US is going to be really good, and is favored to win the gold, but, believe me, you WILL be surprised by the competition that they face. the other teams are very good too. there will be some very close games

Answer 5

Someone said other countries shouldn't be able to use their stars, then, either. Perfect point. I agree wholeheartedly.

Also, Spain's roster has lots of NBA players and every country basically has pro players...some in the Euro's, some in the NBA. But they're all pro's.

Finally, the US is playing by FIBA rules...not NBA rules. Smaller courts, smaller three's, faster game...Spain's going to win the tournament...US may have all the player's you've heard of, but Spain is loaded.

I'm American and hope we win, but I have my doubts. I really think Spain is going to win.
