Supposedly isn´t the U.S who says that everytime an american team wins the NBA (only "National" Basketball Association), Finals crowns themselves World Champions?
But, what really happens when they actually play against the rest of the world?... In the FIBA (Federation the INTERNATIONAL of Basketball Association)…

Americans view a bronze medal in basket as failure because most americans (incuding myself) think we are the best in everything we do as compared to other countires. this is not entirely bad because every other county has this same mentality. Part of it is just pride for your country and that's a good think

Derrick rose because of the fact he's actual taking value on the bulls, did you spot that large come back against the nets the day previous? Kevin Durrant, he's a beast, if he bulks up in basic terms a splash and takes the ball in extra, he would be great Me, jk, Lebron James, even nonetheless he's the perfect surprising now, he's gonna pass up the ranks to be incredibly much as good, or in line with danger much extra effective, than Michael Jordan.

America is basketball's superpower. The best of USA was not represented in this world championship. I am not even an American but I enjoy having American butt kicked by Greece. But thats not real American butt. Anybody that knows the hoop knows that America is nowhere her full strenght otherwise the tournament would be boring with team USA rolling over everyone.

Just one more American sport left.
Gridiron.
The rest of them are done better elsewhere.
I hate American sports, and don't want the popularity to increase; but I'll take some time out to have a good laugh when 'World Champions' get there **** handed to them by a team the rest of the world hasn't even heard of.
If Chelsea called themselves 'World Champions' even Liverpool would say "it's Sao Paulo then us, mate".
Americans need to get out more.

The best are playing for money. Not in an international league. Yes. It is great for the USA. Congrats. And good work to Greece.

no, a bronze is not good.
however, I think the US international team is finally moving in the right direction.
They need someone who can shoot the jumper. Michael Redd needs to be on this time

If the athletes tried their best and were beaten by better athletes then yes. If they were beaten by cheaters....
