Are you just trying to get everyone worked up? You can't honestly believe this, dude. :lol:

You guys are still arguing about this? Last time I checked on this thread was when the US won the gold. Still surprised to see the same recycled arguments going on.

I know it's pretty late (been busy), but I just have to say I absolutely loved that (aside from the numerous, various defensive issues)

Was a very fun and gritty game, despite knowing the out-come

Really makes me proud to be a fan of american basketball

don't ask me why but the US is currently ranked no. 2 after Argentina according to FIBA.
Thriving on mediocrity since '89.

Spain didn't even have Calderon, heck , you can't say it was Spain's best game.
With Calderon playing in, maybe it could have been

USA did not have Lebron nor Kobe for most of the 1st half ...Wade, a top 1, 2 or 3 player in the World (depending on who's ranking) decided that excuses were for losers...Spain is good but no way in USA level...play a series of best 4 out of 7 games between both clubs, and it's a sweep!..........oh yeah, by USA!

LOL, actually LeBron was the player who played the most in the USA, and KObe and Wade 1 minute less
