The United States Olympic men's basketball team
The so-called "Dream Team" overcame a poor showing against Puerto Rico to
win 3 out of their five preliminary games, the last of which was a blowout win against Angola. They failed to defend their gold
medal from the 2000 games in Sydney, however, losing to Argentina in the semifinals. Argentina became the first team to prevent
the U.S. team with NBA players to win the gold in men's basketball.
