jose calderon,

ricky rubio,

rudy fernandez,

marc gasol

pau gasol

serge ibaka

lol, who cares? They aren't beating:

Chris Paul/Derrick Rose
Kobe Bryant/Dwayne Wade
LeBron James/Kevin Durant
Amare Stoudamire/Chris Bosh
Dwight Howard

That's the USA elite. I could probably make a B & C team that would win too.

^^^^ they almost lost in 08 against Spain and the same team minus Kobe lost in 06 against Greece and B/C teams as you said  get owned in 02 and 04 for a total of 7 losses .... FIBA B-Ball is more about pure b-ball skills than athleticism ... when you take most of the later from the US players , there isn't too much left for some NBA superstars ala James and Wade ...

Almost ain't good enough lol. Team USA has a completely different look and attitude now when it comes to international competition. When focused ain't nobody beating them, period. 6 or a 60 point win.

wcsoldier:
^^^^ I meant USA have to send their very best players and work as a team to win it all now ... they can't throw a bunch of players together ala All Star game as they used to do 10+ years ago ... and the 08 Finals against Spain was a loss if it wasn't for Kobe coming through in the clutch ..  withdraw Durant ( and with Kobe aging) from this team and I bet you Spain beat the roster Cham named  in 2012 ... the Gasol brothers (with Marc being 10 times the player he was in 2008) and Ibaka is a better interior rotation than 29 out of 30 NBA teams .

And yep Team USA lost 8 times since 2002 :

( Argentina twice , Lithuania, Spain , Italy , Serbia, Greece) and ... Porto Rico (LMFAO)
