Sorry, I don't buy that.
Australia had no problem running that type of offense against the United States. The US men don't run a pretty offense against against easier teams, and likewise, you don't give other women's teams enough credit. (The US women consistently beat a team that had two of the top 5 players in the world going against them, in Jackson and Taylor). Obviously talent is necessary to run a pretty offense (although, I'd argue it's more important to have a well constructed team..), but that's not an issue for the US men.
The men's game doesn't have that requirement. The men's game went in that basketball direction. The International game has repeatedly proven that the well played floored game can more than compete with the creativity of the NBA. (As have a few NBA teams).
Now, again..I'm not saying one is better than the other. I have my preference. That doesn't make what I like better, it just makes it what I like. But I think it's obvious that the top women (as there is still a talent disparity, even in the professional game. ) Understand and play this type of game better than most men do..because that's how they learned to play basketball. (So it makes sense.) And there is a variety of NBA players who have said the same thing.
edit: Skill wise, the USA women absolutely do have the best backcourt. Offensive skill wise, Kyrie and PG aren't even close to Bird and Taurasi. Athletically, PG andKyrie are far superior and would kill them in a game of two on two. (And I shouldn't even have to say that) But when you talk about better passers, shooters, ball handlers, court awareness, playmaking ability...etc..it's not close.
And yes, I'm comparing what Bird and Taurasi do against women to what Kyrie and PG do against men..because Bird and Taurasi are women, and their skills should be judged based on what they can do athletically against women, just as Kyrie and PG's skills should be judged against men. I'm saying it comes down to a difference in athleticism, not skill.
