August 27, 2010 by Joel Huerto Leave a Comment

In somewhat of a surprising move, Rajon Rondo has decided to withdraw from the United States basketball team. Rondo told USA Basketball President Jerry Colangelo that he had some personal matters.

August 16, 2010 by Joel Huerto Leave a Comment

Not a single player from the 2008 U.S. national team will compete in the 2010 FIBA World Championship, so Team USA will have a brand new look.

KEVIN DURANT: THE FACE OF TEAM USA

TEAM USA HAS SOME ‘BIG’ PROBLEMS

July 21, 2010 by Joel Huerto 5 Comments

This year’s U.S. men’s national team looks younger, faster and more athletic, but not necessarily better than the “Redeem Team” two years ago. For one, the team that will represent the United States in the 2010 FIBA World Championship in Turkey have a glutton of talented guards but lack quality big men. And that was … [Read more…]
