The World Championship controversy took a direct hit at the current USA team. Apart from the pressure to win the FIBA World Cup, fans in America are eagerly awaiting for Team USA to lift the trophy to back up the NBA title. Amid this, a former Boston Celtics superstar decided to add fuel to the fire by highlighting the USA’s unexpected loss in the World Cup. In addition, the 2008 champion took a page from Jackie Chan’s worldwide box office hit franchise, ‘Rush Hour’.

Anthony Edwards and Co. have been an unstoppable force so far in the World Cup. However, their loss to a European team has raised concerns. Let’s take a look into how a 47-year-old NBA legend mocked it.

Boston Celtics legend uses Jackie Chan’s ‘Rush Hour’ to mock Team USA

The American men have made it to the semi-finals without any flaws in the quarters. However, the fans are not willing to forget USA’s embarrassing defeat to Lithuania. In a tight battle in the second round, the European team outscored Anthony Edwards and his boys by 6 points to upset them.?

This was enough for 2008 champion Kevin Garnett to mock Team USA. The NBA legend took a scene from Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker’s famous blockbuster hit, ‘Rush Hour’. The franchise reportedly earned $8,499,834,929 worldwide, $244,386,864 from part 1, $347,425,832 from part 2 and $258,022,233 from part 3.?

In ‘Rush Hour 3’, Chris Tucker’s hilarious conversation with a cab driver was used as a template by KG. In a heated yet funny conversation from the scene, the French cab driver claims, “You can’t even beat the Europeans in basketball anymore”,?to Tucker who plays the role of an American cop.

The Big Ticket shared the above video to his Instagram story and added,?“See.. I’m telling you”. Looks like KG does not have high hopes for Team USA.?
