Team USA Training Camp Roster

I heard a lot of people saying "This dude got picked over this dude!? NO WAY!?"

Well, the players actually choose if they want to be there or not. It's more of a pride thing then being "voted" in.

My lineup is -

PG- Chauncey- CP
SG- Kobe- Wade
SF- LeBron- Pierce
PF- Marion- Brand
C- Amare- Miller

Please... enough with the all-star game. It was one exhibition game.

Kobe wouldn't have those rings without Shaq. MJ wouldn't have his without Pippen. One player does not win a ring, and in this case, they don't mean a thing.

Are you that thick? I was using the three rings as an example of Kobe being able to play as a team player, of course he didn't win them on his own, that's the whole freaking point.

And you think he can go back to that player after having become so adept to shooting the way he does now? I don't, and that's probably something neither of us can prove with stats, rings, or any other type of evidence.

C - Brad Miller (Pretty much a given, since he's th eonly true Center on the invitees list.)

PF - Elton Brand (Big, strong PF, and his size is not an issue in International ball)

SF - Shawn Marion ( He'll flat out kill the competition. Much like in Athens, when he was the team's best player)


SG - Gilbert Arenas ( No problem playing the 2 guard in International competitions. Plus, he'll be teh team's go-to guy, that is for sure)


PG - Chris Paul ( Wil linitiate the fast break enviously and will have no me-first issues. A true PG)



Bench:

6 - Chris Bosh (Will share time with Miller and Brand in the paint. He could start in either PF or C)


7 - Shane Battier ( The necessary defensive specialist. He's a jack of all trades who can play 2, 3 and 4.)


8 - Josh Howard (Another rising star who can do everything on the court.)


9 - Michael Redd ( True shooters are a must. He will see significant time and will play the 2 when Gilbert moves to the point)


10 - Dwight Howard ( A beast on the block, no team will be able to match his energy and athleticism)


11 - Luke Ridnour ( The team needs a second pure point guard. And he can shoot, too.)


12 - Joe Johnson ( Another versatile player who can shoot. Can play everywhere from 1 to 3)

eeeew!


Just kidding, but i honestly don't like ur taste very much.

Me neither. If you're going to have a central player who takes a lot of shots, Kobe is the better of them. (Arenas)

You think T-mac, AI, VC, LJ, ... all want to be a "second-fiddle" type of player? NO! What KB will do is reduce his FGA's if he's got teammates that can actually make a jumper.

I don't like having Kobe on the team. He isn't much for a team player, and considering that he is going to be on a strong team, I don't think he will mesh well.

So your saying he has never had much success playing on a strong team?
