There are some rising star players on this U.S. roster for the Basketball World Cup to go along with some of the sport's most accomplished coaches.
"It’s kind of funny," Lue said."You have all these different coaches and the terminology is so different. We might call a double drag ‘77’ or ‘delay,’ Steve calls it ‘open,’ Mark calls it ‘zoom’ … it’s all the same action.
