    Always fun to watch but I probably won't pay as much attention this year. The 2012 team was a lot of fun to watch, loved seeing guys like Kobe, Lebron, and others play together. Absolute slaughter fest.

    USA playing against Argentina right now. Boogie is an international nightmare. There isn't really anyone out there who can hold him down.

    Been watching it, it's crazy how far ahead the US is in talent in the sport compared to other countries. It's like when the little neighborhood kids come up and try and play with us sometimes on the court.

    There's no comparison in any other sport in the world and doesn't look like it's gonna end anytime soon. Canada can make some noise, but Wiggins dropped out. Spain/Argentina are getting old too. France is probably the only other team that will give them a semi competitive game.

    USA got this in the bag.

    But basketball is growing internationally. 28 people in this years draft were born in another country.
