It's not a huge statement considering how many ex and current NBA players they have on their rosters but it matters in the sense that they're no longer in awe of our team. The international teams are also not falling over themselves for autographs like loyal citizens of Zamunda because they have alot more experience against our guys.

We still have a talent advantage but it's not big enough to overcome a poor game plan or lack of familiarity any given night anymore.
