    Looks like Serbia might not be in it either at this point...and Canada won't be in it either and their team is loaded with NBA talent.

    It'll be cool to see some new teams in it, helps the sport grow. I think basketball has a good chance at being better with parity than soccer internationally since you one player, like Luka, can have so much of an impact.

    With how competitive Slovenia, Serbia, and Croatia have been in recent years, it'd be interesting to see how a modern day Yugoslavia team would fare against team USA. Those games would be insanely close imo.

    No, but he’s still stronger than Evan Mobley.

    most of these nba "stars" are garbage without soft nba rules. Harden's game would translate well in FIBA. Durant, Lillard and these cats cant control the pace of the game, they might get exposed by a team with a jokic or a doncic
