You said Germany surprised you last year a few months back.
So why do you have glee over something ALL of us expected?
Batshyt retarded.

Batshyt retarded.
To an extent though. By this logic, the NBA champs can’t even call themselves the best team in the US because they didn’t have an actual tournament that involves all the middle school, high school and college basketball teams eligible to compete.A core tenet of sports and competition in general is that underdogs often overcome pre-established notions. It’s the reason why almost every culture in the world has a tale that mirrors David vs Goliath. It’s the reason why your parents most likely managed to get out of bed every morning to feed your dumb ass - because they believe they could overcome the odds - only for you to grow up an idiot and not understand that words have meaning.
NBA champions cannot by definition be “world champions” regardless of the talent variety and pool in the league. The NBA being the best domestic basketball competition also doesn’t translate into the US winning every international game or competition - as evidenced here.
It is the point of sports

Why you so mad if you expected them to lose anyway? I mean if you send a squad full of NBA players to lose why you all up in this thread?

nope. Not mad, just pointing out your hypocrisy with the ease of pressing my thumbs on the phone. I didn’t even watch a single FIBA game because that team was so ass.

I can post about hypocrisy. You and I did not expect that team to win. I didn’t have to watch a single game for my expectations to be fulfilled. Now you’re telling me I had to, and you being a hypocrite celebrating their loss…… which you expected.
Just dumb.
Basketball fans are the dumbest fans in sports bar none

You just said it in the very same post.
NBA champions are NBA champions. They’re the best in the US out of the eligible teams that compete in the NBA.
Plenty of people prefer college basketball.

fukk that smiley ass nikka. He only said that shyt cuz nobody give a fukk about his track running ass. 
And nikkas acting like this a victory for him when the best player on the US team was Anthony edwards. This was our g league squads vs other country’s best. Wtf does this prove? At a certain point this whole thing just became a fukk the United States thing for soccer dudes and euros.

Dude is a clout chaser, who cares if they lost. International players are basically running the NBA right now so the hype is there.

Who claimed that Team USA was unbeatable, especially this version of the team? I don’t think anyone who’s actually watched those two teams play came in thinking Germany didn’t have a good chance at winning.

They most likely would most times - but words have meaning. To be crowned "champion of xyz" you need to actually win "xyz".
I don't even know why this is a controversial thing. People are seemingly using "best"/"better" and "champions" interchangeably, which I'd guess is were the confusion comes from
Come on dog. We accept that they’re the best team in the country. There isn’t a college basketball fan that even pretends that UConn could beat the Nuggets. This the shyt I’m talking about. Y’all stretching the truth to make y’all arguments and it’s dishonest.
