Part of the problem is that a lot of NBA players have no desire to play in the Olympics.
Maybe sending the NCAA champ would make more sense. The biggest draw back with the pre-dreamteam process was that the players couldn't play as a team. So, how do we fix that? We get a bunch of ego-maniacs who take for granted their superiority and then get their a$$es kicked. It worked the first time partly because we'd just gotten beat and Jordan and friends weren't about to let it happen to them. USA basketball is getting cocky again, and the rest of the world is starting to catch up (as evidenced by the increasing amount of foreign talent in the NBA.)
Maybe we should let an established college team give it a shot. The Gold would actually mean something, then.
