    Default Players invited to play for Team USA

    Carmelo Anthony
    Gilbert Arenas
    Shane Battier
    Chauncey Billups
    Chris Bosh
    Bruce Bowen
    Elton Brand
    Kobe Bryant
    Dwight Howard
    Josh Howard
    LeBron James
    Antawn Jamison
    Joe Johnson
    Rashard Lewis
    Shawn Marion
    Brad Miller
    Shaquille O'Neal
    Chris Paul
    Paul Pierce
    Michael Redd
    Luke Ridnour
    Amare Stoudemire
    Dwayne Wade



    Kevin Garnett, Jermaine O'Neal, Vince Carter, Ray Allen, Jason Kidd, Tracy McGrady, Richard Hamilton, and Tayshaun Prince have all already been asked and declined to play. The big name not invited was Allen Iverson. He wants to play but Krzyzewski didn't want him on the team. I don't know about anyone else, but I think that's bullshit. There is no way anyone can logically argue that Joe Johnson or Antawn Jamison are anywhere near Iverson's level, but they get invited to try out. Iverson plays all out every night, no matter the score or the record of his team. USA basketball was talking about being better this time around but they already fucked up in my opinion and the team hasn't even been picked yet.

    As far as Joe Johnson's and Jamison's inclusion...its not because they're better or worse than Iverson...in fact, they dont even play the same positions...

    Though there might be better players than them at their positions....I wouldnt put JJ, Jamison, BMiller, or Ridnour in....Rather have Hinrich than Ridnour...

    Far as Iverson, yea thats some bullshit...He like the only player that was trying at the last olympics...Maybe coach K just wants people to hate him even more...

    Atlanta, Georgia. The most important city & state to Southern culture and African-American culture, as well. From music (James & Ray) to sports (Jackie) to civil rights (Martin & Ralph) to historically Black colleges (A.U.C.). Believe it, respect it.

    Tim Duncan is bigger then Iverson.....I dont see him on there....I agree with Dro but CP3 should start......man they'd be undefeated, If Coach K's smart he'd do that......Billups made be a champ and a great player but Coach K knows what Paul is all about.......he remember what used to happen when they played Wake...especially at Wake.......

    Yea I don't know where Duncan and Ben Wallace are either. All those guys on that list are talented, but Duncan, Iverson, and Wallace are three great players. Iverson can take over a game on the perimeter, Duncan can take over a game on the interior, and Wallace can shut down any post player he goes up against. He has shut down Shaq a ton and I doubt there are any more dominant post players than Shaq that he will face in the Olympics.

    Ok this is the new list of 25 players expected to be invited. Out of this 25, 12 will be chosen for the team.

    Carmelo Anthony
    Gilbert Arenas
    Shane Battier
    Chauncey Billups
    Chris Bosh
    Bruce Bowen
    Elton Brand
    Kobe Bryant
    Dwight Howard
    Josh Howard
    LeBron James
    Antawn Jamison
    Joe Johnson
    Rashard Lewis
    Shawn Marion
    Brad Miller
    Adam Morrison
    Greg Oden
    Chris Paul
    Paul Pierce
    Michael Redd
    J.J. Redick
    Luke Ridnour
    Amare Stoudemire
    Dwayne Wade


    Out of those, here's my 12: Arenas, Billups, Bowen, Brand, Bryant, D. Howard, James, Marion, Paul, Redd, Stoudemire, Wade

    The only problem is that the only true center on the list is Oden but I doubt he will get chosen because he's still only in high school and by the time the team is picked he won't even be in the NBA. Amare can play center though, and aside from Yao Ming, I don't really know of any other true centers that will play for other teams so not having a true center probably won't hurt the US that much.

    It was b/w Redd and Redick for a 3pt specialist, Redd gets it for experience.

    yea.....but he's still better then 80% of the big men center's out there in the world

    Its always good to have a big body in the lane and menacing character, Shaq provide the proper intimidation......its no secret that non american ballers are weak and play soft, not saying they suck cuz they dont......but they soft (Y.Ming, Dirk, Illguskus, Divac, ol boy that played for Kings but got traded) all are great or were pretty decent.....but are soft and intimidate easy

    can yall imagine what a 7'6 black guy who weighs 300+ lbs would do?? Its sad to see Yao play those 12 pts 9 reb 2 block games......just fucking sickening......I've never really even seen him dunk on a fucker....LIKE REALLY YAM IT LIKE SHAQ or AMARE!!!!

    infact picture AMARE with Yao's height and weight

    he'd be the most feirce man on the planet!!!
