Top 10 Plays Team USA Basketball Pre-2012 London Olympics
- Updated: August 5, 2012

We’ve got Kobe. We’ve got LeBron. We’ve got Durant, Carmelo, CP3, Deron Williams and Russell Westbrook. So why are we stressing? Well, for one thing, Lithuania, led by decent former Missouri guard Linas Kleiza, almost beat us. And Spain, France, Argentina, and Russia all look legit. International competition is tough. Team USA has to come together as one, pool all of their talents and resources into a collective unit, and play defense. We Americans all crave–no–DEMAND the gold, but these other nations want it just as bad as we do. It ain’t gonna be easy, but you’ve got to remember that talent is on our side. So sit back, calm your nerves, and take a look at Team USA’s top 10 plays in pre-Olympic competition in 2012. Then get back to reality. It’s still going to be tough.
