As the saying goes, the ball is round, so anything can happen. The US has been upset in the past so it is doable. However, the US is sending their best players after their last defeat like more than 10 years ago if I'm not mistaken.
So I expect another heavy loaded stars from the USA to continue their tradition as the basketball dominant country.
If I am not mistaken the audience for basketball world cup is way too small in size. Anyone that loves basketball, watches the NBA and doesn't give a crap about FIBA. But if I had to pick a team other than US at the international level, then it'd be Greece for sure. And perhaps the Dutch too.
