Guys I think a big reason they lost to Greece was because of defense... This is what I hate about the dream team ETC...
These players that atre put on the team have the BEST TALENT no doubt about that whatsoever... But this is it.. THEY LOOK GREAT ON PAPER...
For example the foreign teams are very proud and keep their nucleus together of players that are working.. A lot of you may not know this but the national teams rejected many of the foreign players that play in the NBA...
Jake Tsakalidis from memphis wanted to come play for Greece and Greece said no...
Hedo Turkoglu as WELL as Mehmet Okur wanted to play for Turkey but they said no (this shocked me)
These teams are doing it with charisma and chemistry if you have a guy like Bowen on that team he would go in there give his body up and play his little heart out... This is the type of guy that team USA really needed not some guy like Hinrich (WHO I LOVE) that will touch a guy and get fouled because of his poor defense.....
