As I mentioned in my last blog post, the FIBA World Championships started last Saturday, August 28th in Istanbul, Turkey. There has been so much talk about the USA Men's team in the last few weeks, "They're not that tall" or "They're not that experienced because they're so young," etc. I'm proud to inform anyone that reads this blog that the men's team has been representing the USA very nicely overseas. On Saturday, they dominated over Croatia beating them 106-78 led by Kevin Durant and Eric Gordon. And today, Sunday, August 29th, they beat Slovenia in a 99-77 victory. Even with new rules that they need to adjust to, the USA team has been making fans proud by the great shows they've put on. For a young team who's only played about 7 games together, they're looking ready to get the gold for us with a little more work and experience playing under the FIBA rules. They're next game is tomorrow, Monday, August 30th against Brazil, let's hope these boys keep their good work up and do well in the FIBA World Championships.
