K-Mart replaces Malone in the USA squad

But it's only temporary, cause Malone went to his mother's funeral. In the Olypics Malone plays instead of Kenyon Martin.
But I think that K-Mart is a good ad-on to the USA team, cause he can play good D and he showed this season that his shot is also improving :D !

I have to give alot of credit to Kenyon Martin, he fully deserves to be on the USA team unlike some other people who don't belong
( :o Coughs***Richard Jefferson***, ***Nick Collison***Coughs :o ) even if he won't play in the Olympics next year.

He's good and can play with the best but they still could've chosen better. I think that Chris Webber is better than him but having him, KG and TD on the same team would be scary. He's a good addition for the qualifying tournament, but thankfully Karl Malone will be playing in the Olympics instead of K-Mart.

I believe the US MUST have a player from the class of 2003, at least they normally do.

I don't think it's a requirement, unless it's only recently come in. The 1994, 1996 and 2000 teams didn't feature any NBA rookies or college players.

his best numbers ever are 17 and 8 playing with one jason kidd. malone at 40 is putting up better numbers. i know numbers arent everything and yes i agree kmart's good and i have no doubt in a year or two or a few he'll deserve a USA main roster place, but not yet. usa has td, cwebb, jermneal, dirk, garnett, brandy, malone capable of playing the positions kmart can. is he in the same league as these? lets just put it this way, theres a reason he's kmart and not walmart :wink: :twisted:
