Who would win this USA vs THE WORLD series?

At first I thought this would be a landslide for the US, but then I realized that it's actually not. Steve Nash is a brilliant facilitator, and is in my mind still the best pure point guard in the NBA. D Rose is amazingly athletic, and is a scoring machine, so it would be interesting to see these two polar opposite PGs go at it. Kobe is obviously better than Manu, but by no means is Manu bad. I've always thought that Yao Ming was the more talented center, NOT the better center. He has a fantastic array of post moves that reminds me of Hakeem. Offensively, Yao is better. But Dwight easily beats him on the defensive end. But it seems like, in the few times I remember Yao and Dwight facing up, that Yao always had the better game. Lebron easily destroys Luol Deng. Not even a contest there. Blake is a very raw player. He has the athleticism, but he is not very talented. Dirk beats him there, because of his deadly shooting ability, and his experience. Still, I think Team USA wins, but it's no blowout.
