BEIJING - Seven-time NBA champion Robert Horry said a youthful lineup would not hurt US hopes of earning a first FIBA World Championship title in 16 years.
He made the remarks during a visit to Beijing last week to coach Chinese kids at the Amway Nutrilite Jr NBA camp.
"Basketball has been played in various ways on the court. You can go by height, size or quickness. It all depends on who is playing the best basketball. The small squad gives us the speed which we are good at," Horry told China Daily on Thursday in an exclusive interview at the Renaissance Beijing Capital Hotel.
