BUILD THAT WALL! (around the G-League players on the team so that they can't represent the US in any more international competitions)

I think it is time we start treating the national team more like international soccer. A player pool, a full time coach, etc. Not a random selection that comes together when it is important.

Re: International Hoops/Fiba
I agree. Only winning 98% of everything is some bullcrap. Blow the system up. What's Klinsmann doing these days?
You know what you need? A lyrical sucker punch to the face.
Re: International Hoops/Fiba
In seriousness I find it really hard to believe there aren't enough mid-tier NBA players who wouldn't love the chance to represent their country, even in a non-Olympic tournament.

The Philippine basketball team needs to be suspended by FIBA for that display. That was ridiculous.

Re: International Hoops/Fiba
Didn't we make that change about 10 years ago when Coach K took over? Did they revert that?
From that article:
I think I speak for all of us when I say, "who?"Marcus Thornton scored 14 points for the U.S., which is using a roster composed primarily of G League players for the qualifying rounds. Xavier Munford had 11 points, and David Stockton and Reggie Hearn each had 10 for the Americans.
