Based purely off the performance in the Olympic Exhibition games, then no. But with the London Summer Olympics beginning in only 5 days, it doesn't look like much will change. The 2012 team is filled with numerous elite guards including: Russell Westbrook, Chris Paul, and Deron Williams. The team also has the trio of LeBron James, Kobe Bryant, and Kevin Durant. Now you ask, "How can a team with all those players POSSIBLY lose?". But what Team USA lacks this year is at the center position with only one true center in Tyson Chandler. This become a problem against Spain's National Team as they have the 6'10" Spanish-Congolese blocking machine named Serge Ibaka and both of the Gasol brothers. The USA has a very high chance to earn the Gold once again this year, but they will have to overcome this small hump and defeat the Spanish to rightfully be called the World Champions.
