USA basketball full of many superheroes
But Carlos Boozer thinks teammates Dwyane Wade, Dwight Howard and LeBron James could give them a run for their superhero money.
Following the United States' 119-82 rout of Spain late Saturday night, Boozer was extolling the virtues of U.S. basketball teammate Wade and his penchant for defensive quickness and transition-game talents.
"He's like Flash," said Boozer. "We've got him, we've got Superman (Howard), we've got 'King' James.
"I mean, we've got a comic book over here."
