USA went to world cup with basically it's 3rd team. You really can't compare Olympics and World Cup from American point of view. 

 

2004 is hardly a good comparison. Best American team arrives in Paris. Much better comparison would be 2008 and there's really nobody as strong as Spain's team from that year. If something like a lock exists, both US teams in basketball are locks. 

Legitimate argument that USA won't have best 3 players in the tournament Jokic, SGA and Luka probably better then anyone USA will field. USA are favourites however they won't have best player ok the court ok big matches.

2004 had Wade, James, Duncan, Iverson, Anthony, Stoudemire... It was stacked.

Medicore prediction😄...Google last Olympic TT results

No idea how table tennis has been doing in the past few years, but the previous Olympics are three years ago....recent results say a lot more :p 

If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated! Full story and how to help can be found here!

Wade, James and Anthony were rookies in 2003/2004 season.  That team had only one all nba player in prior season: Duncan. Nowhere near the top team they could send. If Shaq and Kobe were there for example they would've easily won.

Maybe they won't have the best player in a hypothetical match vs Serbia IF Jokić plays and that's a big if, but they'll have 12 next best players.
