i put italy and spain in that line, because they are the biggest nations like the US is for basketball in real life.

And they didn't play with fun rosters at the world championships to, and i doubt they didn't take it serious when they are there or play in front of their own public. Maybe the talent in the olympics is a bit better, Yeah they are always favorites, but they ain't untouchable(in athens they nearly fly out of the competion in first round, before winning the tournament thats still great but not another level)

US has the most world Championships.

US has the most Olympic Gold Medals by a LANDSLIDE.

That's the only two statistics that matter....and they were even winning BEFORE they got to use NBA players.

i am not so sure about that, yugosslawia was part of some Russian teams and both of them win the same amount of titles.

And most isn't always, and they lose also with NBA player.

Please get your history and geography right. What you mean to say is that Yugoslavia (3 titles) was later split into various republics, some of whom (Serbia) has won some titles (2).


oh yes you are right, russia had some from other now single states in it but yugoslawia was independent with tito.

My main point is, that they are the powerhouse and alwas favorites but not winning everything.

And USA is in Buzzerbeater not on that level of Spain and italy, never said that there basketball is in reality stronger but the strength ifrom US basketball is also connected to the popularity of the sport which wouldn't stand here.
