2023 United States FIBA Basketball World Cup team
- ... that the 2023 US FIBA Basketball World Cup team is the first American national team of NBA players without an All-NBA player? Source: "There isn't a single All-NBA selection on the roster." (ESPN) "This is also the first of the 18 U.S. National Teams comprised of NBA players that didn’t have a single player that was selected to an All-NBA team the season prior" (NBA.com) "Not a single player on this roster has made an All-NBA team — a first since American pros were allowed to compete" (Deadspin)

Created by Bagumba (talk). Self-nominated at 12:43, 10 August 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/2023 United States FIBA Basketball World Cup team; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.
New enough, long enough. No significant copyvio issues (only catching direct quotes). Hook is interesting and included and sourced in the article. Everything checks out from my end. Longhornsg (talk) 18:46, 13 August 2023 (UTC)
