Three weeks after their promotional tour in New York, Team USA has reconvened in Las Vegas for a brief training camp capped by its only exhibition game on American soil -- Friday night against Team Canada.
Read Chris Sheridan on the psychological battle the Americans are fighting. He's with the Olympians in Vegas and will be heading to Beijing to chronicle what everyone assumes will be a redemptive gold medal performance.
Few, if any, American journalists have covered as much international basketball as Sheridan has, so when he writes about this stuff, I pay attention. (I also, hopefully, receive large sums of money from him when I plug him in my blog. Chris: Euros, please.)
UPDATED 2:05 p.m. Sheridan also answers the burning questions about Team USA here. I only have one question: Where are my Euros?
