2. That's kind of a blanket statement.

Overall, America will always be better than the rest of the world in basketball. It's like saying that Canada will all of a sudden suck at hockey or Kenyans will start losing dominance in distance running. One team does not a sport make.

It's just that THIS TEAM they chose to send over is chemistry-less. They have no role players, two ball-hogs for starting guards, no shooters, their least selfish player (James) rides the pine, they have forwards who can't play defense fer shit and they don't use their reserves nearly as much as should be doing. Some of it also centers around a coach that inexplicably stifles these guys and doesn't utilize their strengths or their speed.
