The U.S. Men’s Olympic Basketball Team dominated the Germany National Team, 106-57.
Dirk Nowitski is contemplating retiring from international basketball and will concentrate on winning an NBA title.
The US Team was lead by Dwight Howard who had 22 points on nine of 10 shooting and 10 rebounds.
Can anyone beat the US team ? The original Dream Team is and will always be the best team perhaps ever formed bu this team may be a close second.
The next generation of players are now making their mark. A mature Kobe Bryant and Lebron James are at their prime. This team will probably stick together for the next Olympics until another generation comes along.
I dont see the U.S. losing a game until the Olympics in 2016.
