USA Basketball coach Gregg Poppovich did not deny that they had lost to Serbia in the ongoing FIBA basketball World Cup in China.
Serbia defeated USA, 94-89.
According to Popovich there are many talented players in Serbia compared to Team USA some are just new.
It was the second consecutive US defeat that France failed to win in the semifinals.
With the defeat they will face only the seventh and eighth place Poland will face while Serbia will face the Czech Republic for fifth place.
The fact that half of the decent talent in the NBA was a no show for the international competition had a lot more to do with it than the talent of the Serbians.
NBA players are no longer interested in these types of events. We are a long way from the Dream Teams in the Olympics 30 years ago.
