[DAF86]

:lol people totally dismissing this question

Team USA relies on their athleticism and huge talent difference to win games against mostly non NBA talent. They dont have much of a system.

A team with NBA talent and as well prepared as the Spurs could pretty damn well beat them. Heck if Spain gives them fits the Spurs could definitely do the same.

4 years ago in that finals game against Spain they got lucky and won by 2 points or something... Mike K had no plan at all, they won by a miracle.
Chris Paul is playing like shit, Deron sucks, Dwert is blowing trannys, Harden eating his own beard, Kobe dating nurses, is not impossible, I don´t consider Team Usa the pinnacle of basketball, maybe pineapple yeah.

Players that have been together as a team usaully seem to fare well! They have alot of practice as a team together so they would have a shot. I would expect it to be close.

[Boomersgold]

Serious question, tbh, imo, fwiw.

So the international All-star team that trains together everyday and has played over 160 games together, vs a team of NBA All-stars with barely any team chemistry? There's no question that the Spurs would win.

Tony Parker - France's best player
Manu Ginobili - Argentina's best player
Splitter - One of Brazil's best players (probably second to Nene)
Duncan - A top 10 player of all time
Kawhi Leonard - Potential All-star
Patty Mills - Australia's best player (Bogut hasn't played in years)
Cory Joseph - Canada's starting point guard
Marco Bellineli - Italy's best player

[Boomersgold]

That 04 team was awfully constructed tbh.

Spain got pretty close with a team of Euroleague players. Just goes to show that chemistry outweighs athletic talent when it comes to winning basketball games.

[will_spurs]

I think people here seriously underestimate the value of team chemistry and players having played together for years (which is all the more surprising coming from Spurs fans since that's basically what this team thrives on).

Of course on paper Team USA is way better talent-wise, but they actually no clue how to play together, and no experience / habit doing so. They dominate the international scene because they face teams consisting mostly of D-league players who also have no chemistry due to lack of preparation.

The Spurs or the Heat would absolutely destroy Team USA.

The Spurs have one elite player. Team USA has 10+. They actually have one player that would make the Team USA roster. If team USA played the Spurs 100 times in a row, they'd probably win 99. The one loss would be due to coasting and boredom.

Btw, none of those players I mentioned are scrubs.

In most sports everybody knows professional teams are usually better than national selections, simply because they're used to play together a lot more. Maybe people in basketball are delusional.

[Venti Quattro]

In a 7-game series I'd take Team USA in 5. They'll probably win one game by semi-figuring out how to attack Durant and allowing Westbrook to go full-retard but they can't beat a roster with stars from #4 to #15 and is coached by Mike Krzyzewski.

Actually, I wasn't giving them credit. You're make a lot out of PD. Team Spain wasn't going t beat Team USA. The Spurs are a team that would struggle to beat OKC with Ibaka. Now, you're talking about beating a team of LJ, D-wade, D12, Liliard, LMA, Harden, Westbrook, Durant, Carmelo Anthony, Blake Griffin , Andre Drummond and among others. Where exactly do the Spurs have an advantage. You're using this together as a scapegoat. For all this togetherness, the Spurs haven't won a championship since 2007. Hell, the Heat had less comradery and won a championship in its second season together.

It's also not like Team USA doesn't have practices. They don't just show up and play. Coach K. has Team USA prepared.

[DMC]

The Spurs ARE Team USA... in reality. They are like Team America... "everything is bon" -TP

[will_spurs]

Real Madrid and Barcelona are not gonna beat their national selection when 70% of their selection are filled with RMA and FCB players

Actually Spain national team has been so good mostly because it's pretty much the same team as FCB, and Barcelona was incredibly strong during those years.

It was not uncommon in the past (when few players would go and play abroad) to have several players from one club (usually the one dominiating the local league) represent the backbone of a national team, and those national teams tended to do well compared to others (assembled in the regular fashion of selecting the "best" available players, wherever they came from).

[Uriel]

As several people have already pointed out, this question isn't really as absurd as it initially seems. Obviously, Team USA is far more talented than the Spurs, but games aren't played on paper. Team USA is essentially a conglomeration of star players thrown together for a 2-week tournament. They have virtually no chemistry or cohesion, and simply win games on the strength of their raw talent. For evidence that putting together a bunch of big names on a single team doesn't always lead to the best output, one need look no further than the 2012 Lakers (who had Kobe, Nash, Dwight, and Pau), or even the 2010 Spurs, where the addition of a supposed 4th star player in Richard Jefferson yielded nothing better than a mere 50-win season and 2nd round exit.

Part of what makes a basketball team so great is its capacity to seamlessly intertwine its various constituent pieces to form a whole that is greater than the sum of its parts. Team Argentina was able to do that in 2004 when it beat the far more talented Team USA (which had Duncan, by the way) with only one legitimate NBA player at the time in Manu Ginobili. And the 2014 Spurs, obviously, are the epitome of team basketball right now.

Team USA isn't as invincible as it appears on paper either. In the 2012 Olympic Finals, they only beat Team Spain by 7 points, despite the fact that the latter only featured 7 NBA players (only 3 of which--Pau Gasol, Marc Gasol, and Serge Ibaka--could be considered bona fide stars). The Spurs are obviously better than Team Spain, so it isn't really a stretch of the imagination to argue that the Spurs would at least make the final margin much closer (if they didn't beat them altogether).

To me, though, the most interesting aspect of this thread has been the dissenting views from various members. American Spurs fans have mostly remained silent on the question. International Spurs fans are mostly the one's arguing in favor of the Spurs. And American fans of other NBA teams are the one's who are most likely to consider the question absurd. Observing the dissenting and often conflicting views of different people from different backgrounds has made this thread an interesting case study on how one's personal and national affiliations influences one's perception of reality.

Oh yees. I was surprised as well. It will very likely beat it.

Maybe the "love" 4 team USA gets in the way of some obvservers... maybe it's the fact that they regard teams as an addition of talent, which is unrealistic.

In comparison, take Barcelona, RM, and many other not so talented rosters in soccer... they have very good chance to beat any national soccer team, in spite of these national teams having more chemistry and friendlies and so on...

[TimDunkem]

What's with the Coach K cock-slobbering? Win or lose, there's not much he could do to influence the outcome for Team USA one way or the other. He's just another guy on the bench as far as I'm concerned.

It's also not like Team USA doesn't have practices. They don't just show up and play. Coach K. has Team USA prepared.

Spain is not nearly as cohesive and fluent as a team as San Antonio. Although they have been playing for many years together, it's only summer competition, and some players have struggled fitting in. For starters, Rubio probably played his best tournament with the NT back in 2008, and has often struggled. And the Gasols pairing does not maximize their abilities.Also, you can name as many great players as you want, but building a world-class ofense and defense takes a lot of time, work and adjustments. Of course, the more times they played, the less chances for the Spurs to win.

Totally agree.

[Brunodf]

This team USA would be crushed by last season Spurs tbh, all those infiltrations/kick outs/extra passes would be very effective against USA poor perimeter defense

[barbacoataco]

The Spurs have a lot of players with FIBA experience. That makes a big difference, and to me would put the Spurs over this team easily. Duncan really handled Unibrow when they went head to head this year. Spurs play as a team and this Team USA is still trying to figure things out. Also they have too many chuckers who want to go one on one.

[hitmantb]

If Turkey can lead team USA deep into third quarter, Spurs can blow this team out easily.

If the national team played a full season together they would crush everyone on sheer talent alone.

But the lack of chemistry will cost them games against elite teams, see 2004 Argentina where Ginobili defeated Duncan to win gold. I dare say the Spurs is better than that specific Argentina team and the current USA team is not as good as the 2004 squad.

[pgardn]

Depends how long they were allowed to work as a team.

Spurs easily otherwise. Especially in a series.

True. This very good Spain's generation plays together as a team for more than 10 years and will need a very good day to beat the 2014 USA team.

Give time to any USA team build with NBA players and they will be pretty much unbeatable.
