Team USA Working In Perfect Harmony

Usually, a team needs a few months to develop a personality. But this USA Basketball team isn't your ordinary squad.

In two games at the FIBA Americas Championship, Team USA has taken on the personality of a club that thinks pass first and shoot second, plays ferocious defense and has had its superstar players sacrifice parts of their individual games and blend in.

Did you think Kobe Bryant would be talking about his defense before his scoring? Do you believe Jason Kidd would have attempted one shot in two games? Would you have guessed that Mike Miller, Michael Redd and Chauncey Billups would be happy coming off the bench?

But that has been the case. Team USA is a happy 2-0 club entering today's nationally televised Group B pool play game at noon against Canada at the Thomas & Mack Center (ESPN2, Cable 31).
