The US Olympic basketball team has always been a favorite in
Olympics. The famous National Basketball Association players mostly play for
the United States. Thus, the NBA Superstars are all together in one “DreamTeam” which makes them the team to beat every Olympics. Since basketball was
included in the Olympics in 1936, the United States won 13 gold medals out of
17. But then some sports experts are still having second thoughts in the US
Olympic Basketball Team’s gold medal this 2012 London Olympics. The road to the
gold medal may not that easy for Kobe Bryant, Lebron James and the U.S. team.
In online betting, there is no doubt that the U.S.Basketball team has their strong advantages but there are still possible loopholes
to their strength. People know that nothing is certain when it comes to the Olympics.
They should be aggressive in pursuing the gold medal. The U.S. team also has
some tough competitors since other NBA Superstars are also playing for their
home country. Team Spain is one of teams to look after in the 2012 Olympics.
The famous Gasol brothers will be playing for Spain. Other countries competing
for gold would be Russia, Argentina, Brazil, Australia etc. In 2004, the U.S.
Dream Team failed to take home the gold and lost to Argentina who nabbed their
first gold medal in Olympics basketball. United States only finished with
bronze.
In this year’s London Olympics exhibition matches, the U.S.
Basketball team has been showing a great performance and giving all they got
when they won all of their matches. In their final match against another strong
competitor, Argentina, the U.S. Dream team showed a slow start that allowed
Argentina to score 80 points and win by only six points in the game. Sports
betting online experts are sure that Argentina is just one of the strong teams
the U.S. Olympic Basketball team has to face and conquer. There are still other
strong competitors that would put the high stakes of the U.S. Dream Team at
stake.
