The unforgettable performance of the Montenegrin basketball players in the first historic match against the United States of America did not leave indifferent even the coach of the "dream team" Steve Kerr, the man who created one of the most powerful basketball teams of all time, Golden State.

"Montenegro was fantastic and well led, and we were in trouble," said Kerr at the press conference after the Mundobasket match in which his boys only managed to defeat the nation of 650.000 inhabitants (85:73) in the final.

He also says that his selection did not have the best night...

"Montenegro took 23 offensive rebounds from us and nailed us under the basket. However, this was also a good game for us and I'm proud of the boys," Kerr added.

Tyrese Halibarton, the 23-year-old ace of the Indiana Pacers, says that they are not nervous after such games.

"You have to use experiences like this to grow," Halibarton pointed out.
