LAS VEGAS, Nev. -- The U.S.A. Olympic Basketball Team is busy practicing in Las Vegas for the upcoming Summer Games in Beijing.Heat star Dwyane Wade said, "I'm so excited. I don't know how to explain it. I don't know how I can contain it. We have a lot of comaraderie out here. Everyone wants to see each other succeed."Wade's teammate Lebron James suffered what's described as a mild ankle sprain during the team's workout on Tuesday. Wade himself is coming back from left knee surgery. Team officials have been encouraged by Wade's performance during training camp.
