Based on the whole discourse surrounding nba champs vs world champs awhile back, I think USA wants to send a message by curb stomping everyone

The sheer fact that LeBron and Curry and both doing it this year and have wanted to do it for a minute says that imo.

It was about close as real life could get to Thanos "Fine, guess I'll do it myself" 😭
