Which teams have the best shot at beating the U.S.?
With superstars like LeBron James, Russell Westbrook, and Stephen Curry sidelined, Team USA will field a somewhat shorthanded roster at the Olympic Games in Rio de Janiero.
Those notable absences should give other countries reasons to hope, but the Americans left little room for reprieve in their showcases leading up to the tournament.
China lost by a combined 99 points in two contests, Venezuela barely scored 45 in 40 minutes - none of the other games were even close. Team USA undressed teams to the tune of 43 points per game as part of a perfect 5-0 record in the exhibitions.
It goes without saying that Team USA are overwhelming favorites to go back-to-back-to-back gold at the Olympics.
But just for the sake of entertaining the impossibility, here's how the other 11 teams in the tournament stack up against the mighty Americans.
Virtually impossible
Venezuela
Qualifying for the Olympics was shocking enough. Pulling off an upset without Venezuela's player (Greivis Vasquez) would be nothing short of impossible - but don't tell that to Team Canada.
Nigeria
The Afrobasket champions are one of the few teams that could come close to matching Team USA's athleticism (before they lost Al-Farouq Aminu), but there isn't nearly enough firepower, or backcourt scoring, to make it competitive.
If everything breaks right
Brazil
The hosts have an ideal mix of grizzled veterans and up-and-coming names, with the likes of Raul Neto and Cristiano Felicio flanking decade-old fixtures Nene and Leandro Barbosa. But that won't be enough to scare the Americans, who should lay waste to Brazil's shaky defense.
China
Yi Jianlian and Zhou Qi form a talented combination in the frontcourt. They should be able to protect the basket as well as any team in the tournament. To beat Team USA, Yi and Zhou have to play the best games of their lives, while China's porous backcourt has to catch fire from deep. Guards Guo Ailun and Zhao Jiwei can occasionally light it up.
Croatia
Croatian basketball is finally on the rise following two decades of mediocrity. Promising youngsters Dario Saric, Bojan Bogdanovic, and Mario Hezonja are three recent first-round picks that can score in bunches. Inexperience and a lack of quality depth will hurt them, though.
Better be careful
Australia
The Aussies have four NBA champions on the roster, and they play a hard-nosed brand of basketball that grinds teams into the ground. Team captain Andrew Bogut is on the mend, and he'll look to lead an experienced roster that won't give up an inch on defense. They probably won't be able to score enough to keep pace, but they won't make it easy for Team USA.
Lithuania
The Baltic Giants finished second at Eurobasket 2015, and it would be a disappointment if they failed to medal in Rio. They're an experienced outfit that plays a devastating inside-out game, led by Jonas Valanciunas, to throw at Team USA. They could be deadly if veterans Jonas Maciulis, Renaldas Seibutis, and Mantas Kalnietis hit their share of threes.
Argentina
It's nearing sunset for Argentina's golden generation. Manu Ginobili, Andres Nocioni, Carlos Delfino, and Luis Scola are lacing it up for one last time in hopes of recapturing the magic of their unforgettable gold-medal finish in Athens.
A band of 30-and-over veterans will be hard-pressed to keep pace in an uptempo game with Team USA. Their only hope of keeping it close will be to lull the Americans into a half-court affair.
Serbia
Scoring won't be a problem for Serbia. Bogdan Bogdanovic, Milos Teodosic, and Nikola Jokic will torture defenses with a deadly drive-and-shoot game.
Their defense, however, will likely struggle with Team USA. After all, the Eagles had trouble stopping lesser foes in Puerto Rico and the Czech Republic during their Olympic qualifiers.
Serious contenders
France
Nevermind that Les Blues had to qualify for the Olympics through securing a wild card. The French are loaded with two-way talent, and could throw a serious scare into Team USA.
The timeless combination of Boris Diaw and Tony Parker will lead the way on offense. They'll be helped along by reigning Euroleague MVP Nando de Colo, who has matured into one of the top guards outside of the NBA.
On defense, France boasts the NBA's best shot-blocker (Rudy Gobert) protecting the basket, coupled with a do-it-all wing (Nicolas Batum) who can guard three positions.
A lack of depth will likely plague the French in a matchup against Team USA, although that could have been alleviated had the likes of Evan Fournier, Joakim Noah, and Ian Mahinmi been available.
Spain
Even with Marc Gasol recovering from a broken foot, the Spaniards still pose the biggest threat to Team USA. Remember: This is the team that took the Americans right down to the wire in both 2008 and 2012.
Spain has shooters (Nikola Mirotic, Rudy Fernandez, Juan Carlos Navarro) who can spread the floor, skilled bigs who can finish in the paint (Pau Gasol, Willy Hernangomez), and plenty of crafty two-way guards (Ricky Rubio, Sergio Llull).
Historically, scoring against the States hasn't been a problem for La Roja. They just can't seem to defend them without excessive fouling, which speaks to Team USA's overwhelming edge in athleticism.
