Team USA knocked off Serbia 110-84 on Sunday to improve to 1-0 in their group. While all US-born basketball fans are pleased with the outcome, Nets fans will have second and third favorite teams they'll root for to grab the silver and bronze.
Jordi Fernandez, head coach of Canada and Dennis Schröder, point guard for Germany, will give the Nets faithful other rooting interests.
Obviously, love for country will supercede all, but Schröder and Germany are coming off a FIBA title last year, while Canada secured third place and the U.S. fourth place.
Team USA added a lot of big names since that disappointing finish including: Steph Curry, LeBron James, Kevin Durant, Joel Embiid, Anthony Davis and others.
The reshaped roster is the odds on favorite to take gold, but a good showing by Team Canada and Germany will reflect well on the Nets.
