The Olympics kicked off officially on Wednesday with the U.S. Women's Soccer team topping New Zealand, 2-0.

The Opening Ceremonies are on Friday which really signifies the beginning of the Games, and one of the most anticipated events for the United States is men's basketball. The team, winner of the last two Gold Medals, is expected to win the gold again as the roster features all NBA superstars.

To talk about the team and what to look for, we brought in former NBA coach and current NBA analyst Mike Fratello. The 'Czar' also talked to us about the different style of basketball and rules that accompany international play and much more.

Fratello also talked to us about the Golden State Warriors and the New York Knicks heading into next year as well. Can the Knicks use the newly-acquired Derrick Rose and Joakim Noah to get a playoff spot in the Eastern Conference?
