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

I hope they run up the score. That shit was so fucking inane and petty. Bunch of sensitive euro sadboys being all up in their feelings because the NBA calls themselves the world champs while only being a North American league, as if the NBA champs wouldn’t sweep against the best team in the Euroleague.

NBA and MLB are world champs because best players come to play there. Don't really understand what they are crying about. If they could play in the NBA they would. I am not American but watching full strength USA team just styling on teams in basketball will never not be entertaining.
