2023 FIBA World Cup

[Mainstreet]

Since Team USA is involved in the FIBA World Cup and we are also following NBA players like Deandre Ayton and Eric Gordon, I thought it would be appropriate to start a thread on the subject.


By ESPN:

The United States will play Greece, Jordan and New Zealand in the first round of the Group Phase as part of Group C beginning Aug. 26.

How to watch Team USA ​

When the tournament begins Aug. 25, six games will air on ESPN2, including all three of Team USA's first-round games. The other games from the World Cup will be on ESPN+.

I'm watching the end of Greece vs USA. Team USA wins 108-86. They play Germany on Sunday.

The referees are not shy about calling offensive fouls. Brunson is one tough customer who is not shy about taking the ball inside.
