They are by far the favorites.
The reason I disagree is that the Americans don’t play together consistently. It’s a revolving door of who’s who players. Talented, yes, but not as cohesive as some of the other teams, and those teams are starting to be full of NBA players, too.
LeBron playing is a big deal because everybody will definitely fall in line behind him, but that last time around they had the most talented team and then we found out none of them knew how to play anything but one on one basketball. In retrospect, that’s not surprising, because they were all the best players on their teams.
Those stacked international teams have been playing together for years.
