‘While this is what we do, a lot of people out there have given their lives for us, so the fact that we wear ‘USA’ across our chests, it’s an honor and we don’t take it lightly,’ says American point guard Jalen Brunson
The Philippines was helped liberated by the United States from Japanese occupation in September 1945, at the end of the second World War.
Jalen Brunson, arguably the strongest adult presence in USA Basketball’s roster, called the experience “great.”“While this is what we do, a lot of people out there have given their lives for us, so the fact that we wear ‘USA’ across our chests, it’s an honor and we don’t take it lightly.” Up next on their schedule on Friday is Germany, a motivated national team which pushed the United States in an exhibition game held in Abu Dhabi in August.
In the midst of their quest for basketball supremacy, the members of USA Basketball took a poignant pause to remember the sacrifices and struggles of the past.
