When I say the world caught up, that doesn't mean that the US doesn't have the deepest pool of top basketball players from which to draw. US would win by 30 because the other great players are scattered throughout the various countries.
But - the US versus the World would be an interesting game, and you couldn't say that 20 years ago. Maybe even 10 years ago.
