Angola struggling against Japan. No reason for us not to beat them. Unless Choke happens.
Angolan guards are SMALL just like the Japs.
No shotblocker for both sides.

Porzingis pulls out of team Latvia due to injury concerns. Damn superstars are pulling out of the World Cup, this sucks, no Jokic, Giannis, Sabonis, Porzingis, Team USA A stars.
If FIBA can match FIFA or be clear cut second best tournament in the world, it needs to develop better parity and USA has to hopefully stop dominating every tournament and you can’t do anything but hope other countries catch up.no matter how hard fiba tries to copy fifa, fiba can’t have the same authority fifa has.. i mean look at fifa whenever theirs a major tournament, no problems of lending of players (world cup, euro cup, qualifiers) but look at fiba.. major stars declining left and right and no major stars even in qualifiers..
fiba world cup won’t be the same as fifa world cup..

For as long as the NBA is the world's pre-eminent professional, FIBA will never have the authority like what FIFA is enjoying right now. For as long as other national teams are not constantly winning the gold medal, both in the Olympics and the World Cup, the interest of fans, Americans or not, will be always lower. US has been dominating the basketball scene from the very beginning. In FIFA, the playing field is much more balanced.
In my opinion, one way to address the apparent imbalance between the NBA/US and the world is to elevate level of the competition of other countries' domestic leagues. US and international prospects want to go in the NBA. Have you ever heard a prospect that wants to play in Europe or in Asia? This is the reason why other leagues should also lure the best talents in the world.
I doubt Murray will join.
