Instead of calculations and potential conflicts, it is usually wiser to take care of things that can be directly influenced, such as the game and the atmosphere within the national team.

USA vs. the rest of the world
America only recognizes the Olympic Games as a basketball competition and sends its best players only on that occasion. The Argentina national team led by Manu Ginobili is the last team from the rest of the world to win a gold medal at the 2004 Athens Olympics - after that, American basketball players ruled the Olympics. Currently, however, there are more and more national teams that can compete with the best team in the USA, primarily because in the last five years, a generation of players who were not born in America has appeared in the NBA, and they represent the best that America currently has. Is it time to organize a match between the best players in the USA and the rest of the world, and who would come out victorious?
