Whenever the US goes into any world basketball championship, whether it's the olympics or the FIBA World Championship, it always loses. And it's not like they take crappy players anymore either. Last summer they had Carmelo Anthony, Dwight Howard, Chris Bosh, Chris Paul, Dwayne Wade, LeBron James, Kirk Hinrich, and Joe Johnson to name a few and they still couldn't get to the finals and beat a team like Greece which to my knowledge has no players in the NBA. If you're gonna claim superiority in the world basketball scene, at least prove it by winning a FIBA WB championship title.
Is the NBA the best in the world? Back yourself up with proof.

IMO, the NBA has nice, fancy offense but the fundamental defense and intangibles is what the NBA lacks. That's why they always get outscored by foreign teams when it counts.

This is the NBA's problem: they promote individual achievement. Therefore, most players with star talent go for star numbers. It's why Lakers lost to Pistons several years ago: the *team* beat the group of individuals.
On the world court, the US team is a bunch of individuals thrown together, even if they are star individuals. But they don't practice together enough to become a team.
How about this: let the NBA champion team enter the FIBA championship. Then we can see well how a US *team* competes.
