Kobe Bryant was the star in a team full of them against Russia
The United States remain on course for Gold in Beijing after defeating Russia in a Basketball friendly last night.
The USA proved too strong for the Russians, comprehensively beating them 89-68 in a match bereft of equality.
NBA superstar Kobe Bryant was the main figure for the Dream Team, scoring 19 points and helping his team notch up their fourth consecutive victory.
From the opening minute to the last, there was only one dominator. The USA did not suffer any inconveniences in downing their European counterparts by 21 points.
With the Olympics just four days away, the Dream Team are flexing their muscles in their assault for Gold in Beijing.
The USA will be keen to stand on the winner's podium come late August, after falling short at the hands of Argentina in Athens 2004.
Judging by their form over the past couple of weeks, the Dream Team looks a step ahead from their rivals.
Mike Krzyzewski's side was too superior for the Russians. His team has now won four straight matches with victories of Canada, Turkey, and Lithuania.
The Dream Team will round out their preparations for Beijing with a friendly against Australia.
The USA will begin their campaign for Olympic Gold on August 10 against hosts China.
