CP3, DWill
Kobe, Westbrook, Harden
LeBron, Melo, Iguodala
KD, AD
Love, Chandler

I think they better than Redeem Team mainly cause of Team USA GOAT KD and def this year's team. Only hole is big rotation would get murked by Barkley, Robinson, Malone, Ewing from 92. They had no answer for Gasol bros in the finals who was cookin everyone and had 41/16 combined on 63% wit no 3Ps between either

Will always be my favorite Olympic mens team.

The U.S. Men's 2012 Olympic team is rounding out to be a top 3 team

Compare the HOF potential of their roster to many of the past Olympic teams. This team was so stacked. TEAM BLACKOUT is still my personal all-time favorite Men's team.

Yeah 2012 I think was next up, but 1996 and 2008 were incredible as well.

Wade was the most exciting player to ever play for team USA. It was a wow factor to him that year that has never been matched imo. Don't argue Vince with me when he didn't score as much but had the most historic highlight.
