For the second straight FIBA Basketball World Cup edition, the USA men's basketball team failed to capture the gold medal.
This, after the Americans bowed to the Germans, 111-113, in the semifinals at the Mall of Asia Arena on Friday night, September 9.USA head coach Steve Kerr had a simple explanation for another unsuccessful gold medal bid of the powerhouse country -- it's not 1992 anymore.The days where USA just come in and bulldoze the competition are long gone.'It just means the game has been globalized over the last 30 years or so and you know, these games are difficult,' said Kerr.
Can a program continuity help USA end its misery in the World Cup? While it's the ideal thing to do, Kerr said that such is an unrealistic thing when it comes to USA Basketball.'I'm not how you would do that if you wanna ask the same 10 guys to play every summer. I think that's very unrealistic,' said Kerr.
