2008 Team U.S.A. vs. 2012 Team U.S.A.?
The 2008 team had Dwyane Wade, young Dwight Howard, prime Kobe Bryant
The current team has almost all of the same superstars but are now in their primes like LeBron, Chris Paul, Deron Williams, Carmelo. plus a young Kevin Durant who is currently the 2nd best player in the world
Who would win face-to-face?

2008
2008.
2012 Team destroys the 2008 Team easily. Don't forget the fact that the 2008 Team had Tayshaun Prince and Michael Redd ... this year, they have James Harden who is way better than the two plus Durant.
not to mention that 2008 had Billups and Bosh with Wade Howard and Prime Kobe. That team was to stacked and they were so deep they would wreck the 2012 team, Harden, Really?
2008 with the Prime Kobe Bryant. I believe he won MVP that year!
Spain
I think 2012 cus like you said, they have more players closer to their primes. They still have Kobe. 08 didnt have a player like Durant. I think the bench is deeper but we'll see how they manage in the Center and Power Forward positions.
2012. And Durant is the #1 player in the world. No one is better than KD. LeBron is a great player. He got a championship because his TEAM wa better than Durants. But KD is still the most skilled player there is.
2008 olympic team had prime kobe, therefore 2008.
2008. They have an advantage on the inside.
