Redeem team wary of medal-round slip-up

If these overpriced athletes can continue to play something like a team, they
will continue to win. So far they have kept their enormous egos in check enough
to create some minimal team cohesion. I fear that the minute someone decides
he's not getting enough minutes or the ball enough, the whole delicate
patchwork of a team will explode. Please, players, just take care of business
and forget about your endorsement deals.

I am not too worried about one player trying to take over and let his ego get in
the way. I have been watching Duke Basketball for the last 13 years and the
reason I started to like Duke was because of Coach K. He has had several stars
and All Americans(including Boozer) but has always got his teams to work well
together. This last college season was incredible because he had a very small
team but all of his starters were averaging over 10 points a game and the
leading scorer was only at 16 a game but the team was averaging in the
80's. He knows how to get guys(even ones with egos) to work as a team and
to put themselves in a position to win every game. He is one of the greatest
coaches of all time and I am not worried about this team not playing as a team
because he is too good to let it happen
