The United States enter this team with some doubts after going 2-2 in their warm-up games but you know they have enough talent on their roster to completely demolish the rest of the world, or at least that’s what most people would say.

Then again, if there’s a team that can make it quite tough for the United States national team, that’s definitely France; who also feature plenty of NBA veterans and some of the most talented players overseas as well.
