Can I say Dream Team?

Well I have to say before the FIBA world championships I was a little worried. The U.S. men's senior basketball team had lost last summer and had to settle for the bronze. And last summer's team had Lebron, Melo and D Wade. But...joining the U.S. team this go around were a few main players. Kobe Bryant, Chauncey Billups, Tayshaun Prince, Michael Redd and Jason Kidd. The team this was summer was legit. Let's go through each player one by one real quick. Amare Stoudemire aka STAT(Standing Tall and Talented) was a man child this summer. He basically dominated each team the U.S. played on the inside. Dwight Howard. Man among boys and he still is a young boy. Enough said. Michael Redd. Great shooter who opens up the inside and keeps teams from playing zone. Tayshaun Prince. Jack of all trades. He continually scored clutch baskets and played great D. Chauncey Billups. Experienced point guard who played a great floor game and had the team running fast breaks all game along with Jason Kidd who played incredible. These two experienced point guards helped the U.S. team immensely. Lebron, Melo, Kobe were all INCREDIBLE. They dominated the game and whoever was guarding them.

It was great seeing this team play. They really seem to be getting used to playing together and they sort of looked like the original Dream Team from 1992. They blew out all of their opponents and made it look easy. And...this team didn't have Chris Paul, Chris Bosh or Dee Wade. Just imagine how much better they will make the team. Anways I'm looking foward to the Olympics next summer and seeing the U.S. bring home the GOLD!!
