Maybe, but Larry Brown pretty much had the same team in 2004 and came out with a bronze.

@tarheelmotu you cant possibly hypothesize that

[jayfey77]

larry brown had lebron james and tim duncan and carmelo anthony he had plenty of all stars playing u fool and he waited till they got down by 20 points before he put in another 5 lineup that shows stupidity especially when the second team came back and almost won those games problem was they had to come back from to big a deficit cause larry brown waited to long that was just poor coaching.

You're wrong. Coach K's USA added Kobe Bryant, Dwight Howard, Chris Paul, Deron Williams, and Chris Bosh. Larry Brown didn't have any of those guys--instead he had selfish players like Allen Iverson and Stephon Marbury. Coach K wouldn't even have won the bronze with the team Larry Brown had.
