Do you believe anyone could upset the USA this time?
Even though some of the big guns of the US team are withdrawing from the roster, they still are the favorite to win the trophy. We have seen international players playing in the NBA and excel but if they go back to their national team, it's another story since there are two or three of them that have the experience in the NBA that can make difference in FIBA.US team is still a strong and favorite to win the FIBA Cup but I love to see how the Greece perform. Not to forget United states have won the last two world cup in 2010 (Held in Turkey) and 2014 (Held in Spain)
To tell you the truth, I do favor Greece to win this world cup but for that they need to play their best performance.
I would love for us to win but to be honest - even a medal would be a huge success... Even with Giannis our roster cannot compete with USA, Australia, Canada, Serbia, Spain and not even France to be honest...
Tyler Dorsey likely to start for GR as well - I cant wait to see Giannis together with Calathes, hope they will connect.
Our three brothers
