U.S. Men’s Basketball Beats China 101-70 in Olympic Opener

The U.S. men’s Olympic basketball team dazzled U.S. President George W. Bush and perhaps a billion more fans in one of the most anticipated events of the Summer Games.
LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and company put on a dunk contest Sunday night against China, playing up to the basketball-crazed Chinese fans that packed the arena. While the Americans struggled shooting jump shots, the Americans soared for an array of reverse slams and tomahawk jams drawing oohs and ahhs from the fans as they cruised to a 101-70 victory.
