Stars and Stripes Forever

China, Angola, Greece, and Spain. The countries that have lost the war game of basketball against the United States. And yet to come, Germany, and 2 other teams will hand the Land of the Free gold medals, which actually have pieces of jade built into them (white jade with the gold medal, light green jade with the silver, and a black jade with the bronze). 12 proud Americans will become a Dream Team remake. So far, they have the lead in Group B and Lithuania has the top spot in Group A. Passing, three-point shooting, and exciting dunks lead the way to the 4-0 record, but free throw shooting and defense still needs work. So far, the US has been winning by an average of 28 points and is on top notch to beat everyone else, redeeming themselves for the embarrassing 3 loss bronze win in the home of the Olympics, Greece. The ankle injury on DWade looks as if it never happened, with the Miami Heat guard averaging 17.8 points per game. But the group effort is precisely why 2004 was a failure and 2008 was an achievement. But the women have shattered 5 teams' dreams of beating the stars and stripes team as well, as they move on to have a perfect record.
But a Great Wall length away, back in the states, Sacramento have rocketed Artest away to Houston. Michael Finley also decided to stay with the oldest team around. Season beginning just two and a half months away!
