I would probably root for Germany. I don't like most of the guys on Team USA and would find it impossible to root for them. I'm not arguing their talent level; they are all great players and essentially have been penciled in to get the gold. But I'm hoping Argentina, Spain, or Brazil pull off an upset. (Not France, because I loathe Tony Parker.)
I take pride in what some of the American athletes are accomplishing, but not the basketball team. Too loaded with jackasses-although every team has its share of jackasses, regardless of sport.
* And Dirk wouldn't be able to play for USA because he would have to be an American citizen, if I recall correctly.
