Japan will definitely be one of the contenders. They have one of the best young players in Rui Hachimura as well as other NBA stars. America will have to play their best to beat them.

The 1996 Ego-Lympics in Atlanta still leaves a sick taste in my mind. The arrogance of the US Team and the motormouth press was repulsive. And this 'Only the gold will do' is sheer arrogance and childishness, bad sportsmanship. That was the attitude in 1996 from the US Team, and we don't need that juvenile attitude now. What ever happened to just being GLAD to compete at the Games?

“Our only goal,” he said, “is to win a gold medal.”

LeBron has a lot of nerve saying that. And if they don't, he'd better pull a hissy fit like Hope Solo did in the 2012 Olympics when the Swedish women's badminton team trounced the US team. If you win Silver or Bronze you accept it like an adult.
