Across the room, everyone had a chance to speak. Jason Kidd. LeBron James. Kobe Bryant had the final word. As Colangelo remembered it, the best player on the planet told his teammates, “We all complain on our teams, that I want to play with this player or that one. Well, here we’ve got them all. This is how it’s supposed to be. We don’t have any excuses.”

“Amen,” Krzyzewski said, and so ended the meeting that started the final preparations for an Olympic team that tries to undo years of international tournament failures and embarrassments.

Not a good start on the embarrassment front with D-Wade acting like a brat in the game against Australia, getting in people's faces during the game and not shaking hands after the victory.

On-court-wise, their offence is nothing to write home about. They are favourites, but they've got some improving to do before it will be a clear-cut thing. Let them run and they will smash anyone, but force them into a half court game and the gap closes quite noticeably.
