[bigtimejerky]

Paul
DWill
Rose
Kobe
Wade
Durant
Bron
Melo
Bosh
Amare
D12

edit:

at Amare weighing 2049 lbs.

 

[therenegade23]

But which 12 players will actually be on the Oly squad?

 

[kiddin like jason]

Anthony
Boozer
Bosh
Bryant
Durant
Howard
James
Love
Paul
Rose
Wade
Williams

3 point guards
5 wings
4 post players

Boozer gets the nod over Stoudamire because of his defense.
Durant and Rose are probably new locks.
Love was built for this.

I'm not a big fan of not including a pure shooter, but I'm sure we'll be alright.

joe johnson?
brandon roy?

please tell me they declined the offer

 

[DsLee]

Sorry world, but it's a wrap.

 

[superofficial]

Yeah I was wondering where Roy was, maybe instead of Perkins or EG, but I'm fine with the team. We got this.

 

[aristotle604]

at Levin Love and Amare's weight.  He's still lighter than my dad though (my dad's fat....)


Anywaysss, I really hope Durant makes it this time and it wouldn't be bad seeing Derrick Rose making it either.

How is Brandon Roy not on this list? Who knows if Wade or Bryant play and if they don't we desperately will need a SG who can hit a jumper. My squad would be:

Dwight
Bosh
Bron
Melo
Bryant
Wade
Dwill
Paul
Rose
Durant
Love
Roy

 

[MajinZuub]

I think Kobe already said he intends on playing didn't he? Bron and Wade aren't this year right?

 

[fecta23]

How the hell is B Roy not on this list? Did he decline it? If not this list is absolute garbage.

 

[dontsteponmyshoes]

yup just cancel team usa cause broy isnt on the list its a travesty we dont deserve to compete with other squads we dont stand a chance, the 27 dudes on there now are complete bums

Roy wanted the summer off cuz of his knee. JJ has been out since 07... I guess he sorta had a falling out.
