Basketball (Other)

Why other countries are catching up to the US Men's National basketball team

by Jarvs

First of all, i am a big basketball fan especially in the NBA. I love watching basketball ever since i was a kid. I grew up watching Dr. J, Bird, Jordan, and other NBA stars. I have watch how the early Dream team of the US triumph in the Olympics. But that was the Dream team of yesterday. Looking at how the US choose their men for the national team in the previous years have change a lot compared now. I mean its hard to say that the one they are choosing now is not capable of winning because as i have look at their roster all of them are fresh NBA stars combined with a few veterans. I know for a fact that the US will choose their best and most talented players compete. But looking now at international community of basketball, there are a lot of talents rising. I mean, watching basketball aside from NBA kind of makes me think that there are other players around the world who can be a legitimate NBA talent. Right now, I think other countries are very much improving their local talents through constant international competition. If you folks are watching the NBA regularly, you would know what their players are capable. And this what makes the US team very transparent, their players are very well scouted by the other countries. The US does not Know what types of plays other countries are doing and their strategies. Besides, the type of game in the NBA is a lot different from the international one's. Players of the US team are from the NBA and they are players who loves show time.
