Team USA wins in Las Vegas - also plays hoops

The US team has wiped the floor with its 2004 Olympics conqueror Puerto Rico in a couple of practice matches.

There's an account of the second match here, and a look at the team's nightlife activities here.

Note:
- Photo of LeBron, Wade and Chris Paul in second link: Forum fashionista Mr Blackwell will no doubt be intrigued to know that NBA players worth squillions still wear the daggy socks and slip-ons combo that 15-year-old district kids wear here in Adelaide:

- Coach K was BOOED by Las Vegas crowd, possibly for his Duke team beating the UNLV team in the Final Four WAY BACK IN 1991. That's like 15 years ago.

I will be intrigued to see how this team goes at the Worlds - they only picked players who could commit to a three-year program culminating at Beijing 2008, and if they don't win in Japan later in the month, the questions about whether this long-term approach is the way to go will come thick and fast.

Louis Vuitton thongs and Armani socks don't make it right, kids.
