After an embarrassing performance in Athens 2004 and other World events, Coach K from Duke has assembled what should be a dominating World Basketball team made up of Lebron, D-Wade, Carmelo, and a host of other NBA greats. While only a scrimmage, the US beat up on Puerto Rico last night by 45, and looked pretty good in the process. Coach K appears to be on a mission to motivate a team effort with a strong patriotic message to get the team to represent the country. It seems as if the team has bought into the philosophy, and are determined to provide some entertainment mixed with class and composure. Most of the stars of this team are young and the new faces of the NBA, and it is nice to see this group of superstars genuinely act as a team representing the US for all the right reasons. Should be fun to watch.
