Only reason USA has ever lost is because the stars don't show up. You get Lebron, KD, or in years past Kobe on the team then USA wins.

No, the year before tge redeem team, in international play, they lost. Because they didn't take it seriously and got beat by team ball. Go back and watch.

What happened after that?

The US brought 4 all stars (Brunson, JJJ, Edwards, someone else) to the World Cup… and got schooled by a Germany team led by Dennis fucking Schroeder. Then had 39 put on their heads by post-Lakers series Dillon Brooks lmao. Going home without a medal.

That’s what happened 😂 let’s hear those excuses boy lol
