    Maryland population 5 millions(blacks 30 %)

    players from Maryland

    Ty Lawson,Jarett Jack,Delonte West,Terrence Morris,Rudy Gay,Kevin Durant,JuanDixon,Jeff Greene,Keith Bogans,Roger Mason,Donte Greene,Roy Hibbert.And that list features only players who have played at Nba.Easily a gold medal contenter right there.
    Half of which would not come to play for NT and they do not seem all that strong to be considered gold contenders really, as some positions of such team looks weak (center in particular).

    Still, Brazil is as arrogant in soccer as Amerians are in basketball, but everyone loves the Brazilians and not the Americans. That was the main point, the constant bitterness against "American arrogance" when other countries exhibit the same attitude with similar success and don't get nearly the crap we do for it.
    Arrogance - yep they sure are, but at the same time - they put on a real show. Sometimes they seem to do simply incredible things with the ball. USA apart from 1992 Dream Team never looked like basketball gods team, playing very beautiful basketball.

    Sure Americans do dunk here and there but thats nothing compared to what Brazil can do on the football. And Brazil stops getting love if they start playing Dunga style. The Dunga brazil wasnt very loved, they are loved only when they show their godly skills.

    Let alone, how about we just combine for a Team Europe, and also while we are at it, a Team South America, to equalize population levels? Not so much USA dominance then, mate.

    Do you also cheer when your big city 5A high school with 3000 students beats the 1A school with 200 students? Lithuania making the final four, with half the population of Arizona, is the real living Hoosiers experience. But go ahead and gloat. We are such a "dominant nation". Good one.

    I don't even know why you bring this population argument as an excuse to justify your reasons which has no merit whatsoever.

    ...

    If you split America into the 50 states and let them qualify for the worlds, Europe would deserve to lose half their spots.

    South Carolina which is a state with almost zero basketball tradition and only 4 million people mostly in rural areas could be comprised of ray allen, raymond felton, kevin garnett, jermaine o'neal, kwame brown, trevor booker, ramon sessions, Mikki moore, anthony johnson, josh powell and many others in the d-league and in europe. That team is at least an outside medal contender especially if they played together for a while.

    The fact that it only takes 15 people to make a basketball team eliminates most of the advantage population gives you.

    What Lithuania does in terms of development is really impressive, I just find Justin in AZ insufferable.

Did you forget semi-pro, college, high school and streetball? I'm assuming you meant to type Lith is "one" of the greatest bball nations right now.
