yea but that was obviously a second tier of stars or than pierce, not to mention he was the only one who actually wanted to win.
also i think its being verrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrry complementary to refer to richard jefferson as a "solid" role player unless he has an impressive skill for dundeon and dragons that im not aware of
KG doesn't really want to go to the Dream Team. I can understand why Pierce isn't getting invited because there are already too many wing players and during the WC's all he thought about was, "me, myself, and I." The committee doesn't want to take that chance again.
team USA is getting guys that want to play for them, KG has said absolutely nothing about joining and Shaq has very clearly stated he will not play now that bibby is on the team
You don't need "role" players on this team. Just put the best we have to offer and we will win by 20+ every game. Ridiculous choices.

Collison probably wont play that much, but its a good adition, that'll stick it to all you Collison 'haters' that the best basketball country in the whole world picked him, i wonder why? Maybe its because hes a good player!
You sounded so gay when you put Hater in quotations! Well LeBron, Carmelo, Emeka Okafor, TJ Ford, Darko are clearly better then Nick Collison.
Well Darko isnt even american, okafor didnt lead his team to the championship, Carmelo plays a totally different position, and i wasnt comparing him to Lebron or anybody, were talking about Team USA, not team Serbia, why did u even mention Darko
I was just saying players that were better so there would be reason to hate. Maybe they picked Collison to be a good role model, because he doesnt show boat and stuff. I dont think they think he is better then all of those other players.
