USA Basketball finally put together a team that wants to play well and play like a TEAM. The last few USA teams were built poorly, didn't spend much time together, and didn't really seem to care about winning. We're serious about it, this time around.

the US is also heavily into American football, and as we are aware of it here, the rest of the world plays rugby

American football, is confusing
rugby is more fun i think

Basketball is played professionally all over the world. Euroleague, for example.

Any time a European player gets drafted into the NBA, there are "buyout" issues, because these players have contracts with their European teams. Players have to literally buy their way out of their old contract in order to play in the NBA. Tiago Splitter, a highly-regarded Brazilian player, keeps dropping out of the draft because his buyout is too high, and NBA teams are afraid to draft him.

Almost all the good European players in the NBA have played professionally in Europe or elsewhere before being drafted into the American league.

You're thinking of Yao Ming, and he's Chinese.
