July 2, 2012 by Joel Huerto Leave a Comment

No Derrick Rose. No Dwight Howard. No Dwyane Wade. No Chris Bosh. Is USA Basketball in trouble? Hardly. The talent pool is still very deep and whomever the U.S. sends to London they will be heavily favored to win an Olympic gold medal.

FIBA: GORDON LEADS U.S. OVER CROATIA

August 29, 2010 by Joel Huerto Leave a Comment

When training camp started a month ago, Eric Gordon was a longshot to make the United States national team.
