    If you're from outside of the USA I mean.

    I do. I'm from Canada, so until the future greatest of all time, aka Andrew Wiggins is ready to emerge and become the face of Canada Basketball, I can't help but cheer for team USA.

    But it's the olympics, so why would I cheer for any country but my own? Well I don't know, team USA just seems like a bunch of pals, and I wanna be one of the guys.

    We probably have like 5 NBA fans from outside of the U.S. on here. But as an American i could give a f--- about team USA basketball.

    Yeah because I'm American but like redsoxx said, I don't really pay much attention to it. There's no real competition and the games are all just boring blowouts. That being said, it's cool to see some of the NBA's best together and having fun.

    I root for them (like I even need to because they're going to win) because it's a bunch of superstars getting together and being absolutely absurd and dominating other teams and just cracking up about it. It's hilarious. And just cool to see.

    I do like the USA team but you can bet your bottom dollar I'll be rooting for every team against them just so we can see some competitive international basketball.

    I mean, Team USA can have this Olympics, coz we all know 2020 is Australia's year. :wow5:

    It's great to watch the USA dominate. I don't miss a game. Kinda liked Kon said, you f----- up if you didn't watch that 08 team. So fun to watch. Worst players were like D-Will, Tayshaun Prince, and I wanna say Michael Redd?
