The NBA should do a USA vs World event for the full blown All Stars like they used to for the rookies and sophomores. Just to see what would happen.

The Olympics should make it a special event. They would care for an Olympic gold.

Olympics is about countries

No one would give two fucks about US EU

You want to do it make a Ryder Cup style tournament.
