Great news!!! Time to take back the gold. Iverson is goint to average double digit assists on this squad!
why did they hesitate....all them nba players be thinkin too long they should've been on the team 4 months ago....kobe too...
I knew about Kobe like 3 months ago, isn't it a given. I found out that Allen is participating while watching tonight's game, I'm pretty excited. I aghree with the assists thing, he ahs beena veraging more and I think he'll do the same thing in the olympics.
Mike Bibby is officially in, and Karl Malone is expected to be announced the next couple of weeks (I think).
amazing they pick jarmaine bibby and AI before paul pierce....i actually would prefer he doesnt play the olympics because i want to see him save his best for the NBA season and not be all fatigued like these other guys will be
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting "sportsrock37":</div><div class="quote_post">we should dominate, with tmac, kg, kobe, kidd, ai, etc.</div> should dominate. we WILL dominate. Its not fair that Pierice or Finley arent b ack on it thought. they were the main ones who kept us in it from the start.
keep in mind the humiliating losses at last summer's World Tourney...the rest of the world is getting better...to the point that one-on-one play by Team USA will lose to a good team-first team like Argentina. just because Team USA has better players doesn't mean Team USA is the better team. sure its cool to see our nation's best players playing against the world, but it sucks because we lack the playing time together to form a solid team chemistry.
i still think well be too good for the other teams to compete with. especially if they add pierce and td
They said with the remaining picks they are going to get collegiate players. Why waste space on them, if someone ducks out again put guards like Rose, Reggie, Pierce, Finley, DA, tons of others. And for big men you got people like Brad, Raef, Sheed, CWebb the list goes on, why do u have to waste spots when we know there is competition. I mean our team is GREAT, but no reason not to have a full NBA lineup.
Pierce should not be in...this is why they did not choose him..because they said had a really bad attuide in the worlds and didn't not get on with anyone....malone has already been announced in the team.... iverson mcgrady kobe KG duncan will be the starting 5..
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting "olskoolFunktitude":</div><div class="quote_post">i still think well be too good for the other teams to compete with. especially if they add pierce and td</div> i agree, i couldn't see any team stopping these guys. i understand that the other teams have had time and work like a team, but i just don't see any of them winning against this kind of talent. btw we need big ben on the team for defense.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting "allnet":</div><div class="quote_post">iverson mcgrady kobe KG duncan will be the starting 5..</div> how can anyone stop that lineup???? that just seems like too much talent for the other countries to handle.
Tim duncan has already been announced to the team......adding ben would be nice but i would rather him rest up....we have good defenders inside with duncan,KG as well as guards defenders kidd,kobe,t-mac..so defence won't be a problem
