ofan 237 Posted August 14, 2019 #322 Share Posted August 14, 2019 This is going to be like the Ice Hockey World Championships in terms of caliber of professional players who participate, only worse.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunadan 1,103 Posted August 14, 2019 #323 Share Posted August 14, 2019 It's the most important basketball competition of the quadriennium even if a couple of countries don't care at all, they should make the Olympic qualification much more dependent on the WC...no reason to give a free OQT spot to teams that don't give a damn about the international part of the sport for 4 years.

dareza 911 Posted August 14, 2019 #324 Share Posted August 14, 2019 (edited) Don't agree. At least the best European nations will be with best teams (only Italy has problems). And Australia with best team as well. Well, for European teams, players and fans this is very important competition.

NearPup 2,232 Posted August 14, 2019 #328 Share Posted August 14, 2019 They might as well call this the B Basketball World Championship, it’s worse than the Ice Hockey World Championship in terms of player participation. Though, granted, even the Olympics are weird in that regard given that the US could probably have the best, second best, third best and fourth best teams. Either way, it’s shaping up to be a bit of a boring competition. Big scrap for silver while the C team dominates. ofan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canada played with good team 2015. at Americas championship....... and we all know what happened MVP of NBA league Antetokounmpo will be there, Jokic who was in ALL NBA FIRST TEAM will be there, best defansive player of NBA league this year Gobert as well + a huge number of great basketball players.
