Playing for Team USA brings serious prestige. Some of the greatest basketball players in history have worn the jersey and represented the country on the international stage. As a result, Brooklyn Nets sharpshooter Joe Harris knows he’s privileged to be at the 2019 FIBA World Cup.
“It’s obviously an honor to be here, to represent your country,” Harris said after Team USA’s victory over the Czech Republic via USA Basketball. “We are all extremely proud to wear USA across our chests. This is something that not a lot of people have the opportunity to take part in, to have this experience.
