Wouldn't it have been a great gesture, for the U.S. to declined to send a basketball team, or to send an amateur team?
Otherwise what is shown? That the the U.S. can prove that they can put together the best professional basketball team, of all the nations.
I'd rather watch an amateur U.S. team loose, that watch a professional team win.
