Team USA Would-be's.

Postby Doobie on Fri Aug 24, 2007 1:16 pm

Well this thread is for teammates in team USA that well were about to work together in real life. So far combinations are....

Michael Redd and LeBron James
Jason Kidd and Kobe Bryant

I can't really think of more right now but Michael Redd and Lebron look good working together

If only Michael Redd signed with the Cavs 2 years ago. :(

Anyway, I gotta agree about Jason Kidd & everyone.

I can. That was funny as shit.

Mardy Collins never knew what hit him. The most delayed reaction to a punch ever. Mardy was like wait, did he just? Oh shit he did! And it hurt too! It really, really... *stumbles*

:D Awesome.

Jason Kidd and Kobe Bryant


Yeah, Kobe has to be furious right now. To think the Lakers could have brought Kidd to LA but didn't want to give up Bynum. Its going to really suck for a guy like Kobe to have to leave team USA to go back and play with Kwame Brown.

Meh, without a big in the west, youre sunk. I still would have pulled the trigger to get Kidd, but i understand the decision. They have high hopes for Bynum, and he's been working with Jabbar. I think he'll be solid, no perennial all-star, but he's a keeper.

Converse, you seriously have to put spaces after punctuations, man, the space bar is just right there. Right there!

Psh, no defense at all for their opponents, Is it me or are the teams they are against just gleeful to be dunked on by NBA players?

I laugh at how pathetic their defense is, they are like "Woah, look at them dunk!"

I woulda pulled the trigger on Bynum for kidd straight up... I was pretty guted Mitch didnt do it... and yeh... Kobe is probably gutted too that he isnt playing with J Kidd for LA. However, just remember Kidd wouldn't have fit into the Lakers' system anyway so would have been interesting to see how it would go down... but a lineup of Kwame, Odom, Walton, Kobe, Kidd would have been interesting...

Not to let this slide offtopic any further. So combos. Jason Kidd, as everyone says, looks good with anyone on the floor.

Jason Kidd made Mikki Moore a decent looking player. He could get 5th graders to the playoffs if you asked him too.

Is Chris Bosh a grown ass man or what?

It's the Kobe effect. Opponents are afraid of him. You would also if you faced the guy who scored the second most points in a single game in NBA history.

Mikki Moore was always a decent player....he showed nothing last season that he hadn't shown in limited minutes in previous seasons....

I'm not so sure about that. He's always been good enough to play limited minutes, but he rarely if ever showed the ability to put up numbers like he did in 06-07 when he was in Seattle.

I don't suppose it's anything special. LeBron (and possibily T-Mac and Melo) can do it, if they try hard enough (but they never do). But even so, I'd still be scared of him; you never know when he's gonna show some man-love.

That's because all the other guys have even the slightest idea of what passing the ball is. Yes, Kobe does average 5 apg, but I don't think he had that many during his 81 game.
