Olympic Team

Well... this may be a bit early but lets discuss the next US team...

This is mine-
Centers (2)= Shaq and Ben Wallace
Power Forwards (3)= Karl Malone, Tim Duncan and Jermaine O'neal
Small Forwards (2)= T-mac and KG
Shooting Guards (3)= Kobe, Allen Iverson and Paul Pierce
Point Guards (2)= Steve Francis and Gary Payton

Also for three reserves add in;
1. Ray Allen
2. Antoine Walker
3. MJ or Stock as a tribute

Coaches have already been picked and good luck to Team USA... go China with Yao, Wang and Mengke!

no point having 15 people on an olympic roster

C S.O'Neal
F T.Duncan
F C.Webber
G A.Iverson
G T.McGrady

C J.O'Neal
F K.Garnett
F A.Walker
G P.Pierce
G K.Bryant

G G.Payton
F K.Malone

I agree with the second list, but I would have mj instead of GP

argument 1
MJ in 2004?

argument 2
that would leave you with 0 point guards

Also for three reserves add in;
3. MJ or Stock as a tribute

in the reserves as a tribute?!?
that would be lame, what kind of a tribute it would be if you'd put them to the reserves!!!
and they're probably too old then [they're even too old now]

anyways here's mine

C - Tim Dunkan
F - Chris Webber
F - Kevin Garnett
G - Kobe Bryant
G - Jason Kidd
----------------------
B1 - Tracy McGrady
B2 - Allen Iverson
B3 - Ben Wallace
B4 - Gary Payton
B5 - Shareef Abdur-Rahim
B6 - Jermaine O'neal
B7 - Shaquille O'neal

The best Olympic team...

The best olympic team? For which country? Or the best team overall? Jeeze, you gotta be a little bit specific...

thats Hollands team

C: Duncan
Pf: Garnett
Sf: Mcgrady
Sg: Kobe
Pg: Kidd

enough said!!
bench
Iverson,Jermaine Oneal,Webber,Payton,Pierce,Jordan(leadership) and Ben Wallace

Reserves:
Carmelo Anthony
Baron Davis
Ray Allen

i couldnt resist putting Anthony on there

i didnt put shaq on there coz he would just turn it down anywayz.

Jordan won't play for team USA, he'll retire. Neither will Shaq, he doesn't want to play on a team without Phil Jackson. Even Garnett is questionable, but it seems Kidd will convince him to play...
I doubt Iverson will be in either... not because of his skill, but because of his rep.

Duncan, McGrady, Kidd, Allen, Bibby, Malone and Bryant probably, are the only names linked to the team as of yet, if I'm correct. I also wouldn't be suprised if King James ends up in the squad...

just any combination above, but with some attitude this time.

just any combination above, but with some attitude this time.

exactly right!!
even the team in indianapolis should have win the world champ.

how can a team with players leading the nba in rebound, assist and points lost? it's just a matter of attitude!

ok, i think any USA team should start by first picking KG and then the rest
after some thought this is what i would put out

C Duncan (shaq obviously doesn't wanna play)
F KG
F T-Mac
G Kobe
G Kidd

Bench: Iverson, GP, B Wallace, Francis, J Oneal, Webber and PP34/Ray Allen/Stackhouse

It doesn't matter who plays for USA, The Tallblacks will just win anyway
