(BEIJING, August 8) -- The US Men's Basketball team held a press conference at the Main Press Center on Friday, August 8. The 800-seat center was fully occupied by fans wanting to hear from the dream team. Head Coach Mike Krzyzewski was joined by assistant coaches Mike D'Antoni, Nate McMillan and Jim Boeheim.
The squad caused a great stir. After being introduced one by one, the head coach promised that his team would give their best performance as they are ready to face their rivals.
During the question-and-answer session, Kobe Bryant, LeBron James and Mike Krzyzewski received the majority of the attention. Bryant said that it felt good to be in Beijing and that the team would do everything it could to take the gold.
The team members treasure their opportunity to play in the Olympic Games.
"Guys want to be here. Jason Kidd doesn't have to be here, Kobe Bryant doesn't have to be here, but they saw something and wanted to be here," forward Carmelo Anthony said.
"I'm grateful to be a part of this. It couldn't have been a better moment," said Tayshaun Prince, also a forward on the team.
The press conference lasted for an hour. The team will give their debut performance on August 10, competing with the Chinese men.
