What if...

The USA national doesn't win the World Championships in Indianapolis?!

What will happen to US basketball? Will it be laughed at more? Or will we realize that Europe is pretty d.mn good now?
Who will be blamed for it? Players? Coaches? Stern? Fans?

They'll win. No question.

Europe has made some major strides last year, sending some very talented guys to the NBA, but the depth level isn't there yet.

Come on ilya, whatdya thinking, doubting the USA? the team doesn't have any real megastars(ie: Kobe, Kidd, Shaq) ans we killed China.

Those euro players have great shooting&slashing ability, but usually there defense is horrible.

"What will happen to US basketball? Will it be laughed at more?"

What do you man leaughed at more? I've talked to alot of bkb players from europe and most look at the NBA(and US national team) as the best of the best.

If(its a BIG IF) the US team loses, I think more stars(kobe, Kidd, Davis, Shaq) will play for the team, just to kick the worlds arse, again and again and again.

The US team is just using the World Championship as a warm up before they win Olympic Gold. They will win gold, everyone in the world knows they will.

If they lose, I'll pull that Kobe/Jordan dual auto/jersey card that day.
