This Team USA at the FIBA World Cup didn't have a character flaw, it had a physical one -- they just weren't big enough against the European sides.
More takeaways from Team USA's loss to Germany
It is worth pointing that in the case of Germany, they are basically a year ahead of the Americans. Six of the players played at the Tokyo Olympics in 2021 under a different coach and finished eighth. The core of this team played at Eurobasket 2022 last summer and played well, winning the bronze. It's not a decade, it's three years. The Canadians are doing the same thing and they're progressing. This is what Jerry Colangelo used to demand when he took over USA Basketball nearly 20 years ago but it has been retired because it's so hard to get players to make such a commitment. Food for thought.
