Lol at the ref complaints. Team USA is playing boneheaded basketball. They were either getting open shots for their nonshooters or jumping off one leg from outside the paint, hoping something good will happen.
So many people who attain the heights of power in this culture—celebrities, for instance—have to make a show of false humility and modesty, as if they got as far as they did by accident and not by ego or ambition.
