Team USA had an inauspicious outing this summer. Countless stars opted out of playing in the FIBA World Cup, and other stars in the making ended up not making the cut and getting a shot on the team. Miami Heat star Bam Adebayo was one of those players who worked out with the team but ended up getting sent home by Team USA’s head coach, Gregg Popovich of the San Antonio Spurs.
It’s almost impossible to believe at this point. Team USA stumbled through the competition with bigs like Brook Lopez and Mason Plumlee making it over Adebayo.
