Extractions: After capturing the gold medal in the inaugural Pan American Games, the United States entered the 1955 Games at Mexico City, Mexico, eager to repeat. Although the USA suffered its first defeat in Pan American competition, the team regrouped and won its final three games to capture the 1955 gold medal. USA Brazil Argentina USA USA Mexico USA Cuba USA Venezuela 1955 PAN AMERICAN GAMES FINAL STANDINGS 1. USA (4-1)* 4. Mexico (2-3) 2. Argentina (4-1)* 5. Cuba (1-4) 3. Brazil (4-1)* 6. Venezuela (0-5) *Final standings determined by point differential between tied teams. As was the case in 1951, selection of the 1955 USA Pan American Games basketball team was again no easy task. Originally, the U.S. Olympic Committee announced that the 1955 Pan American Games team would consist of five AAU players, four college players and five players from the Armed Forces. But because of the game's March competition dates, college student-athletes could not compete. Instead, the U.S. Olympic Committee decided that the 1955 team would consist of seven players from the AAU and seven players from the U.S. Armed Forces. The 1954 AAU champion Peoria Caterpillars were unavailable because they were representing the USA at the 1955 World Championship, so the 1954 AAU runner-up Grihalva Buicks of San Diego, California, were chosen. A camp featuring 20 of the Armed Forces' top players was held at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base (OH) to determine the Armed Forces' seven players.

Extractions: LeBron voted top rookie TOM WITHERS; The Associated Press CLEVELAND - More than 45 minutes late to a news conference, LeBron James was one teen who didn't need an excuse. He's exhausted.

"I knew I would make an impact this year," said James, who easily beat Denver's Carmelo Anthony, also 19. "And I guess I did." The 6-foot-8 guard made the jump from preps to pros look easy, somehow living up to the unprecedented hype. The No. 1 overall draft choice did more than just post jaw-dropping statistics game after game: He transformed Gund Arena into a hot spot, and he gave Cleveland fans reason to hope. "He proved to all of us that he is up for a challenge. He exceeded all of our expectations and just kept raising the bar," Cavaliers owner Gordon Gund said.

Extractions: If nothing else, it was The Second Greatest Show on Earth. The Cirque du LeBron, featuring that daring young man flying around without a net. "That," Paul Silas says, "is exactly what it was, a circus." His life has been in order for a long time. figure There never was a question Cleveland would draft him first, but nobody knew exactly how James, 18 at the time and already famous and incredibly rich through a $90 million Nike grant, would react to the attention and rigors of the NBA, which is more grind than glamour. "It was the most unbelievable media blitz and scrutiny I've seen in my 35-plus years in the league," says Silas, 60. "I've never seen anything like it. It was mayhem at times. "With the kids, especially. We'd get to hotels at 2 in the morning and there would be 30 to 40 kids waiting for LeBron's autograph. When we got to Philadelphia, we were left off down below and the fans couldn't get to us. They were up on top of the ramp looking over as we got off the bus. They were lowering LeBron James jerseys on ropes for him to autograph. They were ingenious."
