Akron native and NBA superstar LeBron James has gone on record in Time magazine of guaranteeing a gold medal in Beijing.

With Kobe Bryant, Dwayne Wade, James, and other NBA superstars, the USA Men’s Basketball team is only looking for gold.

“It’s the gold, or its failure,” James said.

Everyone remembers the “Dream Team” of ’92 consisting of Magic Johnson, Michael Jordan and Larry Bird. After an embarrassment in Athens in ’04, where the USA settled for third place, James has taken the leadership role for the 2008 games.

“We didn’t respect what Team USA meant,” James said.

Nicknamed the “Redeem Team” for ’08, the USA looks to show its world dominance in basketball where it has won 12 of 15 possible Olympic gold medals.

In their first game against China, the USA showed its skill and talent level with a 101-70 victory.
