NEW RULE

United States Men’s Basketball

They are not the “redeem team.” Obviously, America invented basketball. Yet, we also invented baseball. Cuba owns us. We never complain. Why? Our consternation is repugnant. Our xenophobia is ridiculous. These are NBA superstars. In America, we love them. In the Olympics, we loathe them? Stupid. Internationally, basketball has improved. Americans must accept this.
