best roster
Ha! You should do stand up comedy. Seriously, thats funny.
They got Kobe now gg its time for GOLD
This would be my fantasy draft on NBA2K. Unstoppable!
even kobe was fresh off a run at the finals, but he and jordan are competitive freaks of nature, and are always down to play ball anywhere, and anytime regardless of rest or injury.
i agree with you aussie international players are very good in outside shooting they can shoot everywhere coz they know its hard to penetrate the inside so we needed jason kidd outside shooting and not only passing the ball.
I think that the starting five would be:
C Dwight Howard
PF Amare Stoudemire
SF LeBron James
SG Kobe Bryant
PG Chris Paul
That's the Dream Team for USA(In my opinion the best players in this team for the Olympics)
Remember those Olympic Games will have one big absent: FRANCE
Tony Parker (SPURS)
Boris Diaw (Suns)
Rony Turiaf (Lakers)
Michael Pietrus (Warriors)
Johan Petro (Sonics), Mickael Gelabale (Sonics)
Joseph Gomis (Spanish DI best scorer)
Alexis Ajinca (Bobcats, Rookie)
Nicolas Batum (Blazers, Rookie)
Yakhouba Diawara (Nuggets)
Joakim Noah (Bulls)
Ian Mahinmi (Spurs)
Tariq Kirksay (one of the best players in Europe)
That's 10 french players in the NBA right there...
should have made the Olympics...
I like the way that he looks around after saying "Kobe Bryant." It's almost as though he's saying "we got guns now, boy!"
i think the BIG THREE should been selected... starting 5:PG Ray Allen :SG Paul Pierce : SF LeBron James : PF Kevin Garnett :C Amare Stoudemire
PG-Paul
SG-Kobe
SF-LeBron
PF-Bosh
C-Howard
Good starting 5 and they have good backup players
sounds like my fantasy team :D
KG and pierce were coming off championship runs, they probably would've wanted to rest that summer. and as much as i love sheed, he was already on the back end of his career at the time. not sure if team usa would've wanted him. butler and johnson are great suggestions though, i used to wonder why joe was left off the final roster. but was their defense as good as tayshun's?
the world has stepped their game up recently, but the current US team is different than the previous ones. the same guys have been playing together for 3 years now. previously, the US would just throw a team of all starts together a few weeks beforehand. these guys know how to play together. of the 4 best point guards in the nba, three of them are playing for the USA (nash being the exception). jason kidd is the piece that was missing in 2004 and 2006. he will be spreading the ball around.
Hopefully the U.S team will win the gold. But up until now they haven't solved their problem in long range shooting. It's been their problem in international competition. They will need it most when they meet the high caliber teams.
i think the reason they chose bosh (instead of Garnett) and michael redd (instead of someone like Ray Allen) etc. etc. is because they want a young team for the future so that they can rely on them in future international competitions.
i absolutely agree with you reno US needs pure shooters, unlike Dream team 1 who has Bird and Mullin as starters. US only got Michael Redd as a real shooter in the squad but comes fr the bench, hoping they add Allen for Prince, wow they really need to play smart to win the gold..
yea dude im puerto rrican but if pr dont get 2 the olympics im going whit my second best fiba team SPAIN I LOVE SPAIN
You're right, Tayshaun's defense is better than Butler/Johnson. But I don't think coming off a championship has any affect. I mean Jordan was on the Dream Team when he had just come off his 2nd championship, and he played with Clyde Drexler who he had just beat in the Finals. That didn't stop either one from playing at the highest level.
SO wht kidd is old yeah but experienced, thank you CB4 a toronto player for USA team one and only Canandian dere i think but ppl are hopin the team does alot
this is very good team of top4 top scorer 3 ar on this team james kobe anthony
@ralphlauren014 what about the last game...
Yeah, in running.
wow u're quite accurate lol~
USA HAS THE GOLD!!!
dee waynee
Couldn't have asked for a better ball club
my choices:
kobe bryant
kevin garnett
tracy mcgrady
chris bosh
allen iverson
baron davis
tim duncan
paul pierce
ray allen
amare stoudimire
carmelo anthony
lebron james
they're gonna fucken OWN everybody
oh yeah?! let's see about that!
but that team was short enough as they were. their only post players were dwight howard, chris bosh, and carlos boozer, with carmelo anthony starting at the 4 to better utilize their shooting. that means howard was their only center. at least tayshaun prince has enough size to play either forward position. adding either allen or roy would create an even greater log jam at shooting guard since they would have to play behind kobe, wade, and redd.
They already have Paul and Kidd at the point. Redd can shoot, as can Kobe and Melo. Miller would have been a good addition.
then put Perkins big body and a center, then add Garnett, Pierce, Allen and Rondo wow whole Celtics team what do you think reno of this line up?
Well if they needed a forward, they still could have gone with KG, Caron Butler, Paul Pierce, Joe Johnson, or Rasheed Wallace who were all balling at the time.
best possible staring 5:
CP3
Kobe
Lebron
K Garnett
D Howard/Amare
We are EUROPEAN CHAMPIONS in football. BUT WE ARE WORLD CHAMPIONS IN BASKETBALL IN JAPAN 2006... WHERE USA WAS 3RD.
@ralphlauren014 an nba season is 82 games .......
what about ALLEN IVERSON???
he's a great defender. you got anyone better in mind?
Interesting how NONE of the big three from the NBA champs are playing. I don't know if they were invited or not, but I'm am really sick and tired of the NBA's elite refusing to participate in the olympics. Shame on Kevin Garnett and T-Mac. They continuously turn this great opportunity down tarnish America's international reputation in basketball. I am very happy Kobe has decided to play this year. He may not have another ring, but he has my devoted respect.
where is iverson? also, baron davis would be the best post point guard for the team.
yeah, tayshaun may not be the best scorer, but his defense is top notch
narco its not about scoring he can score 40 or 50, if its only scoring then Allen Iverson should be there but its about balanced scoring of all team members thats what you called team work.
he said los angloslakers which sounded like flakers
wheres Garnett?!
garnett maybe, but really they just need more shooters, i thought it was good to get red and prince cus they are true shooters you have listed a bunch of posts and slashers how would they possibly win without shooters
The 3 people who voted thumbs down for this video are obviously from Spain hahaha
ruellangangpogi pwned the shit outta jhelyounssi LMFAO.
@captainadam1 lmao im a lebron fan but did you see how the announcer shifted his glasses after announcing Lebron james? he must've meant "aw man! why is lebron on our team?"
He made a mistake, it is called Dream Team Nigeria! Back in ol ages, there was a rule in USofA to have at least one black man in a major movie scene.
Now is seems they need to implement it viceversa in basketball.
LOL TONY PARKER IS FROM FRANCE
why deos ittake him so long to announce
Jason Kidds old but hes got it
I wish Kevin Garnett was on this team! I forget all the players who turned down the team. I know Chauncey Billups did. KG probably did too.
killed inside? are you telling me lithuania is going to dunk on dwight howard?
they have redd for their long range shooting
Brandon Roy? Ray Allen? They weren't as good defensively, but they're definitely good enough.
yah ive watched the FIBA last year i've watched the US struglled with Argentina only with Scola and Delfino and thats without Manu, Nucioni, and other guy fr Spurs.
THe Thing i Know That USA Will Win And From PR But Facts Are Facts
We could of used another shooter on this team like Ray Allen. Ray Allen was terrible in the first two and a half series and in the NBA playoffs. About halfway through the Celtics vs. Pistons series Ray Allen just started torching people. He played great in the finals too. Anyways Ray is probably one of the best pure 3 point shooters in the game and the only pure 3 point shooter on this Olympic team is Michael Redd.
USA-SPAIN: 119-82
You wrong ;)
The team is fine just switch Tayshaun Prince for Al Jefferson.
DEEEEwayne wade
no puedo akaso no sentirme español?
soy euskaldun
The Celtics won as a team.
If you wanted to send the Celtics to the Olympics that would be OK, but if you're sending the best team I wouldn't take Pierce.
Garnett or Allen I think would be wise choices. However, considering their age and the # of games played, I'd imagine, they are unavailable,for the summer.
However, even if he could I wouldn't take Pierce. (I don't think he fits in).
don't be overconfident
The gold spot will be USA again in 2008...
Why WOULDN'T Kidd be on the team?
They aren't picking an NBA team, they are choosing players who can win in the Olympics. Did you watch last summer's games. When he was playing, their offense was dominant.
In fact I think he should start. Yes, CP3 is better in the NBA, but this is a diff. game. They're going to see a lot of zone and there's nobody who moves things better in the halfcourt and the break than Kidd.
Another consideration:
Kidd has won before in international play.
There are plenty of gaurds....They should have left out Wade and added ARTEST. I'm sure everyone agrees with me on that.
no one from chicago bulls????????
Eres español. Yo puedo no sentirme humano, pero soy humano y me voy a morir siendolo.
Amare shd be inside the team.
Hey lets send the whole Celtics team coz they know team work, they play defense and they are all americans and they are the NBA champs i guess theres a big possibility that Celtics could win than these all superstars. Think of it Colangelo??
they should have a tounament the USA should host, and have there Olympic team play against the foreign olympic teams, except, have the foreigners play NBA rules....i can guarantee, the foreigners wouldnt stand a chance!
which point guards are better than deron williams and chris paul? none.
dude wtf jason kidd is over 30
The United States is the greatest country in the face of the earth.
WTF...kid on the squad?!? OMFG
& prince ROFL...trade pierce 4 prince and you're in businness :P
...seriously, jason kid?!? HAHAHA
I hope to see Gasol breaking the legs of Dwight Howard or Boozer AGAIN.
Gasol, Calderon, Rudy Fernandez, Navarro, Garbajosa, Ricky Rubio, Marc Gasol, etc...
Search in youtube RUDY FERNANDEZ OR RICKY RUBIO (17) next 1st round draft pick in 2009.
sounds his reading a dead list
I don't think Pierce is fit for these types of games. Pierce is one of the most dominant scorers face to face. However, he needs to square his man up, hold the ball and do a lot of dribbling and spinning in the lane.
Guess What?
Against the defenses they'll play against (zones, I cant imagine anyone trying to play man) they need to catch and shoot; very little one on one action.
With that said I don't think Pierce is a good fit.
Zenit19821994. Are you joking? You actually believe that Spain basketball is better than USA basketball? Think about how many people who play basketball in other countries say "It's my dream to play in the NBA in the United States of America" We have to turn down a lot of them too, because they are not as good as our basketball players/teams. If we played by NBA rules instead of FIBA rules, we would be winning by even more than we do now because our players have to adjust to new rules.
again USA is not sure for gold send Celtics team just add Deron as ur point guard then will have a very good chance.
well, I don't know y they chose Tayshaun Prince? like I accept the others but not Tayshaun though!!
too bad garnett refused said that he wants to give chance to others
i think big three should have been in there even if i hate celtics. but atleast we kobe imean no kobe team usa loses!
I hate the pronunciation of american people saying things like '' LOUS ANYELEIS LAKERS''. IT'S ''LOS ANGELES LAKERS''. It's an spanish name coming from the spaniards when we discovered and colonize América... SPAIN.
To the guy who just said tim duncan will be on the 2012 olympic team! Tim duncan is a bum
Put amare in....and put bosh out...
hablo en tercera persona porke yo no soy españolista, anke sea español
they barely have any big guys thay should have gotten a big guy for williams
USA will shit on Spain
i hope to see garbajosa getting injured again, but this time tryin' to block dwight howard and eating a dunk in his face...
go USA
chris paul
wtf!? why would you want two ball hogs on this team?? to fuck it up like the last ones did?!?
definitely not shaq, he sucks now and you can't have him and kobe on the same team (they hate eachother). vince carter is great at dunking, but otherwise he is overrated. shawn marion is good, but definitely not one of the top 12 or even 30 players in the NBA. i like that you picked gilbert (he's my favorite player), but he was injured all year, so he might not be completely healthy yet. iverson is great, but he's not as good a passer as the 3 PGs we have. we need garnett, not boozer.
kobe is the best
how the fuck did tayshaun prince make this team?
No he didn't and Kobe is better than Paul Pierce, not by much but better. Kobe is the one who freaked Paul Pierce and made him twist his knee. But Paul is nice, Paul Pierce just has a better team.
Pero si tu también eres de España? que haces hablando en tercera persona o criticando a España? creia que eras un sudamericano o algo.
Michael Jordan is injuried
y is wade in there....
i mean he never got bak from his injuries n he suk right now....
n sry our "Truth" needs sum wheel chair so he couldnt ply
theres not one white guy on the team looool
