COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. _ Two memorable developments from 2004:

Americans witness the wonders of team basketball.

One problem.

They witness the wonders while getting thumped in Olympic competition.

The 2004 edition of the men's Olympic basketball team trampled a proud tradition. Heading into the Athens Games, the United States had lost two games (while winning 109) in 68 years.

The 2004 Olympians lost three games in a mere two weeks.
