are you serious? USA is 2nd? LOL

what is the website?

USA won olympic but they're 2nd? LOL

Yeah mate i was so surprise to mate I was wondering how they were first.

Link for you: http://www.fiba.com/pages/eng/fc/even/rank/p/rankMen.html

The United States have the strongest team on paper although the Argentina Team also have some real good quality NBA players in the likes of Andrés Nocioni, Manu Ginóbili, Luis Scola, Fabricio Oberto and the forms a great looking team. And thats the thing about international teams you have no clue about most of the players.

The NBA takes advantage of World Cups, Olympics etc...... As this is a time to scout players and sign them to teams and it is a very interesting time.

I think it is because, while there are plenty of international competitions, USA don't compete in all of them, leaving the other countries to compete.

I think, from memory, the only reason USA even showed up to the World Championships was to qualify for the Olympics (as they did not get gold in Athens)

So that would hurt their rankings.

oh man where is fiji?
