Yes crav, in 04 usa won the bronze. Lebron and wade were on that team. Both were young. In 08 wade lebron and bosh crushed everyone everyone to win the gold again. This is 10'. So we are alot closer to the championship team. And actually they were saying on 105.7 yesterday how nba has surpassed mlb in popularity in america. NBA markets their league and players the best. Did you see how many people were at the heat celebration. Season tix were gone in seconds, jerseys couldnt even be put on the racks before they sold out. No, Im talking further back, say the MJ years..You cant have those ego's on 1 court, 1 team. They just became a .500 ballclub
