2012 USA Basketball Olympic Team Introduction

- Опубликовано: 8 июл 2012
- USA Basketball chairman Jerry Colangelo and head coach Mike Krzyzewski didn't have a single bad option in choosing the 12-man roster that will chase gold at the Olympics in London.
LeBron James admitted as much here Saturday, after the decision was made and Anthony Davis, Rudy Gay and Eric Gordon were trimmed from the group of 15 that assembled here for training camp.
"There wasn't a guy, one through 15, who you couldn't see making this team," James said. "It's too bad we have to cut at all. I wish there was a way you could take all 15 guys on this trip and have everybody get a chance to experience this process and how special it can be."
Cutting the roster was the first major step for Colangelo and Krzyzewski, whose job it is now to craft a cohesive unit from the 12 players who did make the cut -- a star-studded bunch led by James, Kobe Bryant, Kevin Durant, Carmelo Anthony, Chris Paul, Deron Williams, Tyson Chandler, Kevin Love and Russell Westbrook that was rounded out with Andre Iguodala and national team newcomers Blake Griffin and James Harden.
That list includes five players - James, Bryant, Anthony, Paul and Williams - that own gold medal from the 2008 Olympics in Beijing. Five more - Durant, Westbrook, Iguodala, Love and Chandler - helped the U. S. to gold at the 2010 World Championship in Turkey.
Carving a 12-man crew out of the 15 healthy, mostly, stars that showed up for training camp was the sort of endeavor most of the competition wish they had to endure.

Was literally walking on the sidewalk near the beach hotel when the team was de boarding their tour bus in Barcelona. Kobe was literally getting off and was soo nice to let me and my friend and her new born baby in his stroller pass ahead of him. We played it cool but he was so nice and casually smiled. No one told us they were getting off and no one made us along either. Just a normal sunny day. 😊 Rest In Peace Koby. 🙏

Griffin, the Los Angeles Clippers All-Star forward, will not participate in the 2012 London Olympics but will be ready for 2012-13 training camp, according to SI.com.
Ken Berger of CBSSports.com has confirmed Griffin's summer outlook.
The Los Angeles Times reports Griffin tore meniscus in his left knee, an injury that will require arthroscopic surgery.
One of 12 players to be named to USA Basketball's Olympics team, Griffin suffered a left knee injury during a USA Basketball scrimmage on Wednesday. He missed Team USA's Thursday night exhibition against the Dominican Republic in Las Vegas after leaving the team to return to Los Angeles for an MRI and further evaluation.
On Thursday, USA Basketball and the Clippers confirmed Griffin "experienced discomfort" in his left knee after "completing a full practice" on Wednesday. The Clippers stated that Griffin will undergo an MRI in Los Angeles and that he will be evaluated by the team's medical staff. This weekend, he will be examined by Dr. Neal ElAttrache of the Kerlan-Jobe Orthopaedic Clinic.
Griffin, 23, was the No. 1 pick in the 2009 NBA Draft. Griffin had season-ending surgery on his left knee that caused him to miss the 2009-2010. He also missed time during the 2012 playoffs after he hyperflexed the knee. He signed a 5-year, $95 million contract extension this week.
USA Basketball called up New Orleans Hornets big man Anthony Davis, the 2012 NBA Draft's No. 1 pick, to replace Griffin. He was in uniform for Thursday night's exhibition. It's not clear whether Davis will permanently replace Griffin. Anthony Davis was called because Blake Griffin could not play.
