USA is strong but I disagree with Kobe, this team isn't as powerful as the team that destroyed all the opponents in Barcelona 1992. I expect USA to win rather comfortably though, it seems Spain is the only team that can give them a bit of trouble. The race for third place may be relatively tough with France, Russia and Argentina as the primary contenders. All these teams have strong rosters, Tony Parker and Andrei Kirilenko had better seasons than Manu Ginóbili who is now a bit old though, so I see France and Russia one step ahead for bronze medal position.
