3 women's Olympic basketball countries (Lauren Jackson's Australia!) who can challenge Team USA for gold

The world might have somewhat closed the gap on American basketball in recent years, but make no mistake. The Team USA women are still the rightful favorites to win another gold medal in Paris in mid-August.

How could anyone reasonably doubt a team featuring various MVPs, All-Stars and elite shooters like A’ja Wilson, Breanna Stewart, Kahleah Copper, Kelsey Plum and Diana Taurasi? The American women present an unmitigated basketball juggernaut, and it will be a massive failure for them to fall short of the top of the podium.
