Impossible... unless you wanna see Euro pros killing our amateurs again (1988-1991)

The U.S., playing without Hawkins who was injured, and forced to go without Manning for most of the first half because of foul trouble

With just over a minute left, the U.S. pulled within three, but again the Soviets turned back the U.S. rally and held on for the 82-76 win.

Rimas Kourtinaitis led the USSR with 28 points

Arvydas Sabonis and Rimas Kurtinaitis were both pro since 81 and were playing on the same pro team since 83

I say they held their own

1990

Traditionally composed of amateur players, a 1989 rule change by FIBA allowed USA Basketball to field teams with professional players.
