USA Basketball


The 2008 USA Men's Basketball team was announced recently and included:

Carmelo Anthony (Denver Nuggets);
Carlos Boozer (Utah Jazz);
Chris Bosh (Toronto Raptors);
Kobe Bryant (Los Angeles Lakers);
Dwight Howard (Orlando Magic);
LeBron James (Cleveland Cavaliers);
Kidd;
Chris Paul (New Orleans Hornets);
Tayshaun Prince (Detroit Pistons);
Michael Redd (Milwaukee Bucks);
Dwyane Wade (Miami Heat); and Deron Williams (Utah Jazz).

Duke University Hall of Fame coach Mike Krzyzewski is head coach of Team USA .

I notice they are lacking true centers on this team, especially with Dwight Howard being currently injured. Even though the Euro basketball rules are slightly ridiculous, I'm thinking this team is better built to play by those rules and finish higher then bronze this time around.

Is it just me or does the name Tayshaun Prince not fit in with the other names???

Prince is very good. They had to get someone from Detroit.
