LAS VEGAS, July 25, 2008 -- With two men who symbolize what the American dream is all about – Bill Gates and Warren Buffett – sitting courtside, the latest incarnation of the U.S. Men’s Senior National “Dream Team” kicked off its quest for the gold with a dominant 120-65 rout of the Canadian Men’s Senior National Team at the Thomas & Mack Center on Friday.
The absence of LeBron James, who sat out with a bum ankle didn’t seem to faze the U.S. one bit, as it started Dwyane Wade in his place, essentially playing a three-guard lineup, to begin the game. Wade finished the game with 20 points, tied for the game-high honors with Carmelo Anthony and Michael Redd.
Paul (11 points, eight assists) Kobe Bryant playing spectacularly (15 points, four turnovers, four fouls).
When Heaven is about to place a great responsibility on a great man, it always first frustrates his spirit and will, exhausts his muscles and bones, exposes him to starvation and poverty, harasses him by troubles and setbacks so as to stimulate his spirit
