FIBA Basketball World Cup

[DamDam]

this being our C Squad

No, no, and no again. I've read this countless times, but this is all bullcrap. It was not USA's Roster C, Roster B, I agree, but don't over exagerate...

Name me american players better than Curry-Irving-Rose at posts 1-2 ?
Harden would probably be in the team A.
As for Davis,Cousins, Drummond they totally are among the top 5 big men..

Some players may have been from C squad (Plumlee, DeRozan) but I dare you to make 2 team A & B with players who are stronger individually that the ones they showed up this year...

Yes LeBron, KD, Kobe, CP3, Howard, Melo weren't present, but they still picked their best backup to represent USA. So it is a bit "too much" to pretend that the World basketball scene got smashed by 3rd rotation players.
Even though it is pretty obvious that the NBA is on another level (physically especially) and the U.S by its size and population has a much deeper pool of potential players and therefore more raw talents :)
