| The Future of Team USA
On ESPN.COM, Henry Abbot writes "redemption. It is so sweet. It means all the world in 2008. But does it mean that the United States is once again established as clearly the best basketball team in the world? Not so fast. If we learned anything in that thriller of a gold medal game, it's that the competition is excellent, and no team will waltz to any titles.
