Roundball Soundoff – Ranking Team USA Basketball Since The “Dream Team”
Internet: Did you hear Kobe Bryant say that Team USA can beat the Dream Team? He’s an idiot! They could never win! Me: What did you expect him to say? That they would lose? Yep, that would be a great way to market Olympic basketball this summer! And while we would truly never know what would happen, I think we can make some serious educated guesses.
