United States, World Basketball Champion 2010

16 years passed since the last time that the U.S. team Basketball had reached this stage, and we do not mean to be a finalist, but they can finally celebrate being World Champions , something he always had merit, but failed time enough to achieve it.

With the absence of Kobe Bryant , who thought he was going to be quite painful, supplanted him quite well, something that was clearly in his overwhelming passage through the Group Stage , undisputedly the best in the group and with a wide difference in pros .

His last meeting, the last step to glory, was played to the Selected Turkey , a duel more than justified by their individual performances, especially that of local, collective strength and showed good defensive work, despite not being so overwhelming at times as offensive.

It was this lack of officiating at the meeting, leaving the specialists in the attack always be ahead, with an overall effectiveness of 44.1% (which results in a 54.3% success in doubles) and leaving a final score 81-74, an advantage although not much, always remained constant.

More than fifteen thousand people saw the deployment of U.S. national team , to show why the NBA is the best league in the world, and why Kevin Durant with 28 points, was one of the pillars of this winning team of Turkey 2010.
