Is it really that amazing ?.... I sound like my grandpa now but those guys back then played for a purpose. They were actually really proud to represent their country . Basketball players these days could care less about playing for team USA, they just want their huge NBA contracts and sponsorship money.
but also a lot of countries have put more money into training their athletes which would explain some of more parity.
