Definitely the gap has shrunk. I don't know if I would agree that it is now tiny. While other teams might feature MVP level players like Jokic, Doncic and SGA no other team can feature a roster made entirely of NBA all stars and future hall of famers.

Tiny is an exaggeration
Point is other countries have upped their game
The emphasis on shooting especially 3 point shot has disproportionately benefitted Europeans and other foreigners
The gap was widest in 1992 Olympic games but everyone loved it. The Dream Team made basketball international.
