yeah we basically dominate the world in a sport we created. Hmm...
Basketball is more American than baseball. I mean I grew up having it shoved down my throat because I was tall for my age, and fast (At the time, but that all evened out by high school

)
Anyway, our best players aren't in the tournament, and if we did lose it's kinda like "Oh hey Turkey's best players vs. our mediocre players, and we lost."
So yeah. If it was the olympics I might care.
