Featuring a roster loaded with some of the NBA’s best players such as Stephen Curry, Kyrie Irving, James Harden and Anthony Davis, the USA dominated the 2014 Basketball World Cup held in Spain. The United States’ run started with a 114-55 blowout of Finland in group phase play, and from there the U.S. would never look back. They beat Lithuania, 96-68, in the Semi-Finals, as Irving scored a game-high 18 points. In the Final, the United States defeated Serbia, 129-92, with Irving (who was named MVP) again leading the team in scoring, this time with 26 points.
