Garbage-TimeTeam USA not a Dream

Watching
Team USA pound on teams in the Tournament of the
Americas hasn't been very entertaining. It's been an
absolute ass kicking, thats all its been, nothing
more nothing less.
I'm not surprised that Team USA is winning, these are the games they are supposed to win. This is no Dream Team.
This team is like the US Military its the biggest and the baddest, and it will roll over anyone in a traditional setting. They can bomb the hell out of a country and destroy everything in sight. The problem is when they have to fight in a non traditional war, like Vietnam, we don't roll over teams, and its an actual battle, that the US may not win. Argentina, Spain, Serbia, Italy these teams are Team USA's Vietnam.
You can't declare this team The Dream Team Because its not. The Dream Team had 10 of the 50 greatest players ever. Ten of them will most lilely be Hall of Famer's, and Laettner will probably make it based on his collegiate career, since most consider him the one of the greatest college players of all-time.
This team has 5 at the most and there is no guarantee this team will even have that many. Team USA had the Greatest Player of all-time and arguably had the best PG, SF, and Point Forward in the history of the game. If you were going to form an all time great team none of the players on this team would even make the list. Kobe is the best player on this team but he wouldn't be in the top 7 on the Dream Team.
This team is by far the best team in the Americas but that isn't saying much when Argentina, and Brazil don't have their full rosters. But you can't declare this team next Dream Team when they haven't played anything.
So please stop the hype this team is no Dream Team! They are All-Stars and that is it.
