From the ASSOCIATED PRESS, Andrew Bagnato writes "sooner or later, people will stop measuring every U.S. Olympic basketball squad against the Dream Team. U.S. coach Mike Krzyzewski is hoping it's sooner. 'There's only one Dream Team,' said Krzyzewski, an assistant coach on that fabled squad. 'That w as '92. The mistake that our American people make is calling every team after a 'dream team.' This isn't Rocky I, II, III and IV.' A lot has happened in 16 years. Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, Larry Bird and friends have moved on. More important, the world has caught up to the United States in the game it invented. "It is redemption," said guard Dwyane Wade, one of four holdovers from the 2004 Olympic squad. 'That's what it is: a road to redemption.'”
