Vlade Divac...Joins Hakeem Olajuwon and Kareem Abdul-Jabaar as the only players in NBA history to amass 13,000 points, 9,000 rebounds, 3,000 assists and 1,500 blocked shots. And coming from Serbia, he also never played college ball in States.

Yes, it proves the point, although not the one you are thinking of.
My argument was that having five great individuals does not mean you have a great team, and as basketball is a team sport you need a great team to win consistently.
Not that I want to poke any more holes in your story, but Yugoslavia won 5 WC titles. Which is kinda more than the old Soviet Union, or USA for that matter.
