Vote for the 12 players you'd choose for Team USA. Think about who would gel the best to bring home the gold.

Repugnant Abomination · 07-14-2006, 03:17 AM

How can you possibly pick Amare' when he has been out of action for a year, and reports from the summer league say he is still far off from his former self.

BigDongedHoe · 07-14-2006, 08:05 AM

How can Tim Duncan not be on there?

Schroeder · 07-14-2006, 09:08 AM

How far we've fallen from the Dream Teams. Today's NBA players just don't compare.

f3lix · 07-14-2006, 02:24 PM

Amare can still be used for the 2007 qualifier (if necessary) and the 2008 Olympic Team. Plus as you can see, there is a major shortage of quality centers.

Duncan is not American and has played for his native country in years past. (The Virgin Islands, I think).

While Kirk Hinrich was added to the list after this post, he is with 14 others picked for the final 15, which will be cut to 12 days prior to competition.

Carmelo Anthony; Gilbert Arenas; Shane Battier; Chris Bosh; Bruce Bowen; Elton Brand; Kirk Hinrich; Dwight Howard; LeBron James; Antawn Jamison; Joe Johnson; Brad Miller; Chris Paul; Amaré Stoudemire; and Dwyane Wade.

Repugnant Abomination · 07-25-2006, 06:42 PM

Not bad, but not the best we have to offer either.

angry pancake · 07-26-2006, 02:06 PM

I had one of the Bowen picks. COuld've used better selections at center. WOuld've taken ben wallace, Kaman, or shaq over any of the center selections. Amare and Howard really aren't centers. Still they're the best two selections on the list.

NOw where the fuck is dirk nitwitzki and yao ming on this list?

angry pancake · 07-26-2006, 02:08 PM

last spot for me came down to carmelo anthony and chris paul.

f3lix · 07-26-2006, 08:19 PM

A reminder that Coach K is very team oriented, which fits international ball very well. It wouldn't surprise me to see a starting 5 including a few Dukies. Who would you start and why?

I'd go with...

PG Hinrich
SG James
SF Battier
PF Brand
C Howard

These five can play well together, know how to play team ball, can hit the 3-ball, and can defend, as well as rebound. With the game on the line, surely my 5 would be different, but to get the game rolling, I'd like a good team and these five would be my pick.

angry pancake · 07-26-2006, 09:04 PM

G. Kobe
G. D-Wade
F. LeBron (would bring ball upcourt)
F. Bruce Bowen (doesn't need to score on this team)
F. Elton Brand (Just as much a 5 as Amare)

I'd have Redd and Arenas as co-6th men, Bosh and Howard as the first talls off the bench --assuming Amare's not 100%.

I didn't have Hinrich or Battier on the team. Hinrich maybe someday, Battier I think he is what he is --a 4th option on an above average team/bench player on a really good team..

f3lix · 07-26-2006, 09:50 PM

Kobe and Redd aren't playing this Fall. My attempt was to find out from those 15 who you'd start.

angry pancake · 07-28-2006, 08:30 AM

Still, isn't this a who would you put on the team type of poll based on those out listed above? Granted Kobe and Redd aren't playing in the fall, but they seem eligible in the nubblies version.

f3lix · 08-13-2006, 01:22 PM

I finally saw a starting 5 that the US put on the floor. Against Lithuania, it was Carmelo Anthony, Shane Battier, Elton Brand, Kirk Hinrich and Wade.

	Do not worry if you have built your castles in the air. They are where they should be. Now put the foundations under them.

	There's life and then there is Cubs baseball, it's a chore to seperate the two.
