GREECE gave a good lesson to the US team...

NBA stars get preferencial treatment during NBA games. That is gone in international play. I cant stand the chest thumping and the announcers commentary about how great a "star" is. I watched a Piston-Cavs game this last season and the Pistons were being called for fouls Lebron that just did not happen. If these players are so great, let them play. Besides, a group of player put together does not become a team overnight. US basketball would do better to send an actual NBA team. I know that there are lots of International players now, but you could still just sent the American players. NBA players lose to a team without a single NBA player!!!!
Off topic, but I saw Darryl "Chocalate Thunder" Dawkins in the Philly airport last week.

I'd rather see a team of college players represent the US

Thank you Stefanos. I must say that I had some reserves due to Pau Gasol not playing but the rest of the team managed not to miss him. All in all a lesson of team play, we will be seeing these guys often in the next years.

Many of them are going to play for NBA teams this year.
