USA basketball full of many superheroes

BEIJING — Fans wearing Justice League of America superhero costumes have been seen frequenting the beach volleyball venue the past week at the Beijing Olympics.

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."
