They're usually stacked bro

[@elhajjmalikel6266]

Exactly. And the crazy thing is, unlike the NBA, you can't say this is unfair because it's international basketball and this is team USA. They are reppin the country and not their individual teams like in the league. I mean it's fairly unfair. I mean you're playing against the top players of the NBA from America, which we all know is a basketball country. Basketball is what we do here. This is just a massacre.

However I wasn't expecting almost everyone to be black when I have only ever seen one black person ever in the UK. This "racist" assumption is coming from American modern history and the sensitivity that surrounds it since then. I never "see" race ever.
