Hill: “Team USA can’t wait to play against Greece”

The CEO of the American team spoke about the preparation of Team USA and not only Grand Hill.

The veteran NBAer also mentioned the friendly tournament in Abu Dhabi, which will take place a few days before the World Cup (August 18-19), and emphasized that everyone looking forward to the match against Greece, but also against Germany. And this is because they consider that the National Team belongs to the teams that play high level basketball, while he also mentioned the roster of the representative group of his homeland.

In detail what he said:

“In Abu Dhabi it will be an opportunity to meet competition that we will find in the World Cup. We are looking forward to playing Germany and Greece. They are important matches for us. We can’t wait because not only the members of USA Basketball will be there, but also Germany and Greece, all members of a global sport.

In Abu Dhabi they are thirsty for NBA basketball players, since then we talked about these national team games and everyone was looking forward to see such teams there. I can’t wait for the world to see high-level basketball, from us, from Germany and from Greece.”

As for Team USA’s roster: “Everyone is waiting to find out which players have agreed to play in the summer. In June or early July we will announce the team roster. Let’s find the best chemistry. A lot of work is being done for this gold medal, if we don’t get it it will be a failure.

There will also be a Select Team, I cannot describe the importance it will have for our preparation. I was part of it in 1992, we had one success and many failures against the Dream Team in the following days. This team will prepare the roster, it will have young athletes who will be members of the national team in the future. It happened with Durant and Irving in the past.”
