NEW YORK -- Look, when it comes to the world of international basketball, Turkey is no Spain and Russia is no Argentina. That said, with USA Basketball spanking Turkey and Russia like they did, whispers clamoring over the latest installment of the Dream Team echo across the sports world.
Earlier this week, the USA Men's Basketball team beat Russia by 20 points, and a few days before that they destroyed Turkey in an even more dominating fashion.
To put it simply, they are destroying teams as they prepare for the start of the Olympic basketball tournament.
But are we just fooling ourselves again? Is this another mirage? Are the big names and flashy games of Dwyane Wade, Kobe Bryant and LeBron James just dominating these lesser opponents, or are they actually ready to dominate some real competition?
Dream Team III, Anyone??....
