With the exception of Tim Duncan, they all only care about stats and themselves. Overpaid prima donnas... !

Well, at least we can put to rest any chance of calling them a "Dream Team". The US has fallen hard in olympic b-ball. How sad.

I wonder what would happen if that entire Italian team was an NBA team. How do you think they would fair?

I agree, and that speaks volumes about chemistry involved in basketball (as if the Pistons winning the title wasn't enough)...
