The performance by the US B-Ball team, I think is not due to the fact that the rest of the world is catching up, we still run the show.
I think it can be attributed to their attitude towrds the Olympics. There wasn't the same enthusiasm as there was in earlier years. And, in the age of Platinum, who wants gold anyways.
As I watched the game, I noticed a lack of organization, drive, and determination from these NBA stars. I think that they feel that they have nothing to prove, now, and so they try less. They cannot really value a gold medal when it almost seems like a guarantee.
