Best of Team USA beats any other national squad.

Problem is they rarely collect the best of Americans outside of Olympics.

If we look at 2023, that squad was sooooo bad they couldn't even get the bronze.

And it's how narratives get started when those Team USA rejects start taking L's in less important tournaments.

The US will always have the deeper talent pool but the top end talent has caught up to the best the US has to offer.

IT HASNT SIMPLY
BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO PLUCK
EACH SINGLE PLAYER FROM
A DIFFERENT COUNTRY.

SERBIA DOESNT HAVE ANY
OTHER PLAYERS COMPARATIVE TO JOKIC
AND NEVER WILL.

SAME GOES FOR GREECE/GIANNIS
AND ALL OF THESE OTHER COUNTRIES.

SO ITS NOT THE TOP END TALENT
ITS ONE SINGLE DUDE FROM
A WHOLE NATION AND THERES
ONLY ABOUT 5 OF THEM IN THE WORLD
:devil:
