The United States National Team reaches the World Cup FIBA with a team of players from the nba though no relevant starsbut with the firmness of being able to dominate the competition.
Those led by Steve Kerr will have a difficult task, but they have shown they have enough quality to occupy the world basketball throne as usual.
That is how the stars and stripes team will try to add their sixth world crown and improve the disappointing seventh place of the last world championship in which they fell in the quarterfinals against the French.
Preparation of the United States and who will be its rivals

The Americans will debut next Saturday, August 26, against their counterpart from New Zealandsoon the faces will be seen on August 28 against Greece and they close their way in the first round on August 30 against Jordan.

Bases: Jalen Brunson, Tyreser Haliburton.
escorts: Anthony Edwards, Josh Hart, Austin Reaves.
