I have rewatched the USA/PUR game a couple times now, and once our team settled down I have to say... I havent been this excited about USA FIBA ball since the dream team in 1992 when I was just a kid.
The team we have is so deep and so well rounded, everyone is bringing an energy and a drive that has been lacking in USA ball for years. Coach K has done an incredible job so far bringing in players both superstars and role-players who want to be here and are hungry for a new face on USA ball.
Bowen belongs on that team... when we meet up against Argentina in the finals, Slovenia in the group play and the other great teams out there, I cant wait to see him play his unique style of suffocating defense that makes him so good against their stars. Reading about how much excitement and drive he brings to the team, if this exhibition game is any kind of measurement (and albeit it is a small measurement) I think we are well on our way to bringing USA dominance back to the International level.
Kobe said it best... "defensively, Bruce Bowen was the toughest for me to go up against."
Go Bowen, D-Wade, LeBron and Melo.... Go USA.
