If this lineup of International Player's Dream Team were to square off against the current U.S. Olympic Team, who would win. What will the total of points outcome be and how much will the margin of victory be? Any ideas?
PG - Steve Nash (Canada), Tony Parker (France), Carlos Arroyo (Puerto Rico)
SG - Manu Ginobili (Argentina), Leandro Barbosa (Brazil), Marco Belinelli (Italy)
SF - Andrea Bargnani (Italy), Yi Jianlian (China), Andres Nocioni (Argentinal)
PF - Dirk Notwitzki (Germany), Pau Gasol (Spain), Nene (Brazil)
C - Yao Ming (China), Tim Duncan (Virgin Islands), Samuel Dalembert (Britain)

I meant, what do you think the final score will be and how much will the winning team win by?

The big men for the International Dream Team would be their only advantage. Amare and Howard could definitely hang offensively though and Chandler would help greatly on the boards. Not to mention, if you're giving the International Team 15 players, that means the U.S. would be allowed to add 3 more, in which case we could add Bosh and Oden to help with the backcourt depth.
Also, we would use that last spot to bring Wade back to bolster an already unmatchable front court. Team USA would still crush the International Team. Team USA has nobody on their team with the talents of Nene, Dalembert, Belinelli, Bargnani, or Arroyo. None of those players would stand a chance against our team, and all of our players are top notch NBA stars.
Team USA wins 129-103.

Wow, great question. I feel that the International Dream team matches well, if not better than the US team. My reason is defense. Yao, and Tim alone can defend the low blocks with tenacity. Plus Steve Nash and Tony Parker on the perimeter, and then how well Manu, Tony, and Tim play together (it's automatic like Karl Malone and John Stockton). In a seven game series, the International team would win in 7.

You realize that you've just put the "big three" of the current NBA champs on the International team. What's more you have 3 of the last four NBA MVP's on the International team. The International team also has better low post presence with Duncan and Yao. Bottomline is I would not bet against a team that has both Duncan and Nash in it.

USA, Kobe with a supporting cast with talent and a game plan from Coach K.
the margin of victory is a little tougher depending on weather, time of year, previous matchups, injuries, but at least by ten points regardless.
(and I dont think Duncan would play for the international team regardless, he would opt for America)

Might as well get Gregg Poppovich to coach the International team if your gonna have tim, manu, and tony on the same team. I think with a roster like that he could come up with something.
I think you could have put luis scola instead of nene.
