What is going on with American national basketball team?
A lot of players have given up from playing for the national team at the World Championships.
Anthony Davis, CJ McCollum, James Harden, Eric Gordon, Tobias Harris, Bradley Beal, Damian Lillard, DeMar DeRozan, Kevin Love and recently Paul Millsap.
It seems that Kyle Lowry is also very close to give up, according to some rumors.
I think that this time Serbia really have good chance to beat USA, what do you think?

National basketball team and World Cup isn't big thing in USA and their stars don't feel duty to play for the national team. Many of these players just want to rest or prepare better for upcoming NBA season. Also, they are probably afraid to get injury while playing for the national team. But I expect that next year in the Olympics we will see most of their stars playing.

Maybe in future India and Pakistan will represent in the FIBA . It is the famous sports but it is not so popular in Sub-continent.

It's not going to happen soon. There is no signs that basketball level in India may improve soon and Pakistan don't even have national team. For me it's a bit strange that country with such huge population like India don't have decent basketball and football teams.

You are right in near one decade its not going to happen because these countries missing many things even they have not basic set up for many games even they can manage but mostly media and money is going with only Cricket so this sport has very few chances of growing here in this area we can expect from other Asian countries because they are doing some big investments and they have all things which can help them for coming forward.
