For those who are saying nowadays many teams has nba players on their rosters, i want to say that Argentina in 2002 defaeted the Dream Team without active nba players (Sanchez and Wolkowisky played in the NBA, but they didn't have many playing time..). And in 2004, when they did it again, they only have Manu..
In 04, Nocioni, Delfino, and Scola were all very good players internationally who were all capable of being productive players and starters on many NBA teams. It wasn't long after that tournament before they all ended up on an NBA team. Oberto was there too.
Of course, they had nowhere near the star power of the US, but they had a great group of competitors who knew each other very well and played the game like a selfless team. They were all in their athletic primes during that time too. That 2004 team was awesome.
For Manu's sake I hope she's his niece or something.

i think the picture is a little suggestive, so i don't think the girl being his niece would be any better.

Looked better early in the game, and then they pretty much fell apart. Doubt the USA has much in the way of any roadblocks to the gold, but ya never know.....
