I mean of course you would probably think these guys are ALL superstars. But believe it or not our league actually has many better players. Dwight Howard is definitely mediocre. Yea, right, if our players cared as much about the Olympics as they do for the NBA finals, we could probably use any of the teams that made it to the play offs and they would win the gold. But unfortunately not all of our players are up and willing to agree to a three year training (I think) for the Olympics.

its like basketball, but u cant dribble and you have to pass to another player to move the around. the ball is much smaller than a basketball, and the ring much bigger. theres no backboard

Re: USA Men's Basketball
Dwight Howard is mediocre? Let's take a look at his playoff performance.
Against Toronto: Game 1: 25 points, 22 boards, 6 blocks. Clearly a terrible performance. Game 2: 29 points, 20 boards, 3 blocks. Game 3: 19 points, 12 boards. Game 4: 19 points, 16 boards, 8 blocks. Game 5: 21 points, 21 boards, 3 blocks. Against Detroit: Game 2: 22 points, 18 boards, 2 blocks. Game 3: 20 points, 12 boards, 6 blocks. Game 5: 14 points, 17 boards, 3 blocks. Dwight Howard was the single most dominant center in the NBA last year. He even out-performed Amare's center performance during the pre-Shaq trade, and Amare is one hell of a great player in the paint. @Memnoch: yes, it really is a shame that some people decline to play for the USA team. I don't know if Rasheed Wallace was given an invite, but I'd love to see him out there. D'Antoni would have been a great help to a small ball team like this. I am curious to see how Krzyzewski positions his players.

but you're right, better to have a team that works well together than superstars that will fight for possession of the ball. if you used the celtics, or DEEETROIIT PISTONS, they would definitely win gold.
