Can the US win the gold in basketball?

Time for a new dream team?

With Kobe Bryant, currently the best basketball player in the world, in the lineup of the US basketball team, can anyone beat them?

Heck yeah, I say.

While there are a lot of great stars on this team, can this 'team' really play as a team? That's going to be the key to US hopes for winning a gold in basketball. Still, even if they win, could they really be compared to the original 'Dream Team'?

For now, I say no - not even close. Still, I hope the US basketball team still wins gold.
