Team USA 2010 coach Ed Schilling: Asian basketball players need more exposure

Lance Stephenson of Team USA 2009 was surely one of the best players at the adidas Nations camp. He has also been regularly featured in NBA magazines. He failed to lead his team to the title though, losing out narrowly 92-95 to the younger Team USA 2010.(Photo 1 by Ian Chew)

I just have to admit it – it was a childhood dream come true!

Of all the privileges of interacting with NBA coaches and players at the adidas Nations camp and witnessing the highest levels of basketball play, getting to know coach Ed Schillings of Team USA 2010 personally must surely rank up there as one of the best experiences I had at the camp.

Dallas, Texas, Friday, August 9, 2008 – It was always going to be an uphill battle.

Team Asia (Blue) coach Larry Krystkowiak admitted as much.

“Our team definitely has a size disadvantage when compared to the other teams,” he said after the game.

Team Asia’s weakness was all the more amplified when facing Team Africa, with two of their centres Youssoupha Mbao and Negueba Samake standing over seven feet tall!

Team USA powers past Asia Blue for huge second win in adidas Nations Camp

Dallas, Texas, Friday, August 9, 2008 – Team USA took off. Literally.

Asia Blue had a glimpse of the superior athletic ability of the hosts when they were beaten 73-100 in a Pool A second game. The Americans took advantage of the tiring Asians in the fourth quarter to execute a bewildering variety of alley-oops, power dunks and behind-the-back passes to pull away for good.

It was not that Team Asia did not put up a fight, though. The scores were kept close in the first half as New Zealander Justin Edwards scored 19 of his 23 points to stun the favourites.
