The 2008 U.S. Men’s Olympic Team in basketball is still undefeated as it advances to the quarterfinals.

Labeled as the Redeem Team, USA basketball team wants to prove that they’re faster, stronger, and better than anybody else. “They wanted to show everyone they are superior, and they did,” Spanish center Pau Gasol stated.

But, if the 2008 Team USA is indeed superior, as what they are showing on the 2008 Beijing Olympics, are they greater even than U.S.’s Dream Team on 1992? Than the original squad which was composed of Charles Barkley, Larry Bird, Clyde Drexler, Patrick Ewing, Earvin Johnson, Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen, Christian Laettner, Karl Malone, John Stockton, Chris Mullin, and David Robinson?

Could Carmelo Anthony, Carlos Boozer, Chris Bosh, Kobe Bryant, Dwight Howard, LeBron James, Jason Kidd, Chris Paul, Tayshaun Prince, Michael Redd, Dwayne Wade, and Deron Williams outshine the original basketball champs?

For one, most players of the 2008 USA Basketball Team are in their prime. The team is younger, faster, and definitely more focused. But if anything is to balance out the comparison between then and now’s USA Basketball Team, it would have to be Michael Jordan, who was only 29 then and in the middle of 6 NBA championship titles and 5 NBA MVP awards.

Undoubtedly, MJ is the greatest basketball player in history, and even sports analysts agree that Kobe Bryant, Dwayne Wade, and LeBron James couldn’t match the basketball legend.

So, in case, just in case, the Redeem Team now would face the Dream Team then on a one-time “battle of the real champs” game, whose side are you on? Just something to think about!

It’s show time once again, folks!

On Thursday, June 5, get your banners and cheers ready as the battle of the bests will begin! Eastern Conference’s champ Boston Celtics and Western Conference’s title holder Los Angeles Lakers will make history once again as they compete against each other for the NBA Finals 2008!

To most NBA fans, the battle between these two NBA giant teams is simply a clash between Paul Pierce and Kobe Bryant, superstars of the Celtics and Lakers, respectively.

Aside from Pierce, the Celtics, however, has actually two more weapons against Bryant, the league MVP – Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen. Boston’s BIG Three makes the team almost impossible to defeat.

Meanwhile, Lakers is never a one-man team, as well. Backing Bryant up are Derek Fisher, Pau Gasol, and Lamar Odom. It is this player combination that made San Antonio Spurs almost helpless during the Western Conference Finals.

NBA Finals 2008 will definitely create a loud roar as both the Celtics and Lakers are ready to take the center stage! So, which team are you betting for?
