The author focuses on the victory of the Russian national basketball team in the International Basketball Federation World Amateur Championship in Santiago, Chile. The Russians defeated the U.S. national team with a 62-37 score, wherein the latter country faced criticism by both foreign and U.S. fans alike for their performance, stating that the Americans could win at a sport they invented. The U.S. national team did not include its top players, Bob Jeangerard and Eddie White, due to fractures, which was a major factor towards its loss.
