Talent alone, that team should have won gold. Think about it.

He might not be the best coach, but certainly one of the best.
This "Dreamteam" wasn't build for a tournament with FIBA rules. If he had had Ray Allen or Michael Redd, Larry had easily won it. You need a lot of pure shooters to win in a FIBA game, that's just the way it is. Marbury and Iverson are pure slashers, Jefferson's outside shot was horrible during that tournament and Marion was one of the best outside-shooters... That should say a lot...
