So, the FIBA World Cup begins soon this month. As a huge basketball fan, I'm rather excited about it starting up. Anyone else planning on following it?

well I'm ignorant about basketball internationally, but seeing that it is mainly played and popular in the US, wouldn't this be just, well, the US massacring the others?

No, because like always all the big NBA stars aren't there.

The US are still the favorites, but it's certainly possible for us to fall to a team like Spain or Brazil.
