It's inexcusable that the US didn't play the Tournament of the Americas this summer. It's no problem that they already had tickets to London. It would have been fine to send a B team but not sending a team is ridiculous. Was the US the best team in 2010? Yes. Are they still the best? Could be based on talent alone, but without having played in a year we cannot confirm.
I like watching national team competition more than anything. Your'e right we don't have to send our best 2 teams out to compete. A few years back a non sanctioned by USA basketball team went to FIBA Americas. They placed 10th. lol
USA is participating in the PanAm games that start 2 days from now. Here is the link:
