Team USA Basketball Announces 12-Man Roster for 2014 FIBA World Cup

Following Team USA's 112-86 victory over Puerto Rico in an exhibition game at Madison Square Garden last night, managing director Jerry Colangelo announced the final 12-man roster which will compete in the 2014 FIBA World Cup starting on Aug. 30 in Spain. Here it is:

Guard




Stephen Curry




DeMar DeRozan




James Harden




Kyrie Irving




Derrick Rose




Klay Thompson




Forward




Anthony Davis




Kenneth Faried




Rudy Gay




Mason Plumlee




Center




DeMarcus Cousins




Andre Drummond

The final four players cut from the team were Kyle Korver, Gordon Hayward, Chandler Parsons and the most discussed one of them all, Damian Lillard. Since the announcement, some folks on Twitter haven't taken the news of Colangelo dumping Lillard from the squad too well.

But, our favorite response of all was when someone tried to throw shade at Lillard's lack of playing time in last night's contest.
