Team USA has won convincingly over China and Angola in early Olympic play.  Their dominance is as close to a 1992 Dream Team as you are going to get.  It's not hard with players like Kobe, LeBron, Dwight Howard, D-Wade, and on-and-on. 

Coach K makes sure that they are doing it with grace and class.  Coach K finally gets to coach Kobe as he recruited him out of him school and almost took the Laker coaching job a few years ago.  I met Coach K in Los Angeles in 1991 while I playing goalie for the North Region in Team Handball in the U.S. Olympic Festival.   (We took the Bronze Medal.)  During halftime of a basketball game, a few teammates and myself went up to Coach K to introduce ourselves.   He looked straight ahead and was very intense.  You thought he was still a cadet playing for Bobby Knight at West Point decades ago. 

Barring some catastrophe (God forbid), Team USA will win gold and reestablish global basketball dominance.
