July 8, 201214 yr Anthony Davis doesn't make US Olympic roster LAS VEGAS — Blake Griffin, Andre Iguodala and James Harden were chosen Saturday to complete the roster for the U.S. Olympic basketball team. They earned the final three spots that opened after a rash of injuries knocked out at least four players who would have been on the team. They beat out Eric Gordon, Rudy Gay and No. 1 draft pick Anthony Davis of New Orleans, who couldn't scrimmage this week because of a sprained ankle. Also heading to London for the defending gold medalists are: LeBron James, Kobe Bryant, Carmelo Anthony, Chris Paul, Deron Williams, Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook, Tyson Chandler and Kevin Love. Griffin showed he was healthy again after being slowed by a knee injury during the playoffs, putting on an impressive dunking display following practice Saturday. Harden, the NBA's Sixth Man of the Year with Oklahoma City, gives the Americans more scoring punch off the bench, and Iguodala is a defensive specialist who can guard multiple positions.

July 13, 201214 yr Griffin has a torn meniscus. He's done. AD is pretty much a lock to make the team IMO. AD had 9 points in 9 minutes. He had a 3 and 1 and threw up 3 goggles and talked a little smack to Cal.

I loved it, Cal and Davis both enjoyed that moment and it put a smile on my face...AD looked pretty smooth in his nine minutes...
