The well-known USA Basketball team seems to be dealing with internal problems that could trouble it from succeeding in Paris as the 2024 Summer Olympics draw near. A source told MailOnline that the team's "ego and other BS" will prevent them from winning gold for a sixth year in a row.
"The ego that lies within the team, everyone is out for their own and not for the team as a whole," the source said, highlighting a persistent feeling of individualism among the group. “If none of them adjust their way of thinking, it might and will be disastrous; they need to function as a cohesive one." This view implies that the team's joint efforts on the international arena may be jeopardized by individual goals and disunity.

Recent performance of team USA
During a recent tune-up match against Australia, which Team USA narrowly won 98-92, these internal problems were exposed. There are now concerns over the team's cohesiveness and readiness following the near miss. Even though the team won by a slim margin, the game revealed weaknesses that rivals from other countries could take advantage of.
The world basketball community has taken note of Team USA's troubles. According to a source, "They haven’t looked good and have been exposed, and many international teams that have played together longer are more cohesive and have a decent chance of beating the USA team." This frame of view highlights the potential advantage that more experienced and coherent teams could have against the extremely talented but seemingly disjointed American squad.
Team USA has faced similar challenges in the past, but they have often overcome them to reach Olympic gold. For example, the 2008 "Redeem Team" faced issues with unity and ego before uniting under great leadership to win the gold medal once more. Spectators and advocates alike will be hoping for a different outcome this time.
Given their legendary past and the caliber of talent they bring to the court, there are always great expectations for Team USA. The team's ability to work through these personal issues will be essential to their pursuit of gold and to preserving their status as the dominant force in basketball as they get ready for the Olympics.
