Los Angeles Lakers superstar Kobe Bryant has quipped jokingly that he would leave the United States if the fabled Team USA basketball team comes short of snatching the gold medal. And where's he gonna go? Italy. And he's not alone. Carmelo Anthony has also dropped his own ultimatum: either he gets a gold medal or he ships his stuff elsewhere. The United States is indeed an instant contender this year, but lately it has not gone unopposed. Only recently, Australia had given the United States quite a match in a pre-Olympics game. Gone were the days the old Dream Team massacred its opponents on court, winning by obscene margins. Just in 2004, Team USA had relinquished its championship throne to Argentina, when it only brought home the bronze medal. I personally have high hopes for this year's team, a.k.a the "Redeem Team", mainly because the 2004 roster did not have the same firepower as this year's. But of course, that remains to be seen. And just like Kobe and Carmelo, I think I'll be packing up the moment I see gold medals dangling off the necks of some other country's basketball players. Kidding.
