Default U.S. Olympics basketball team.

The Dream Team is finally back! Will it be like taking candy from a baby? We'll see. They made it look fun and awesome with the Chinese team, with the passes, dunks, jumps, slams, etc.

The Chinese are OBSESSED with Kobe Bryant (besides their own Yao Ming of course).

Bring home the gold this year, boys! Otherwise, you don't deserve to earn tens of millions each year for each of you.

Just out of curiousity, who pays for all of the Olympics. I am sure sponsors (McDonald's, Visa, Coke) cover a lot of the expenses, but still. There is no way they can cover it all. Any idea who forks over the dough?

Ahh good deal. That has to cost a ton of money.
