Sue Bird and Carmelo Anthony talked about their experiences playing for team USA basketball in a recent episode of Melo’s podcast. Bird claimed that playing for team USA was the most uncomfortable basketball she’s ever played. Do you think the players’ on the men’s team feel the same way?
It’s definitely a good point, but it’s more like players are being TOO unselfish and too deferential instead of all trying to earn that alpha spot.
You could definitely see a lot of over-passing and some janky offense, and aside from Lebron, KD, Ant, Stewie, and A’ja, players on both teams are playing vastly different roles on Team USA.
