Kobe headlines 12-man Team USA squad

It looks like a very "international" play friendly team...I like their chances...I am proud of Kobe for playing.

He chose not to.

 

Oh...I just hadn't heard anything about why he chose not too. I feel that they really need to big up a big man who can shoot the ball some and play within the post. Garnett would be a great decision as well, but I guess he doesn't want to either.

 

With that being said...I think this team should definitely win, even if they didn't add anyone.

They need a guy like Jason Kapono who has good size at 6-8 and is strictly a shooter.

 

Obviously, there's no single player on that roster you'd choose behind Kapono, but looking at the team as a whole, I'm sure they could do without one of their studs to put a deadeye shooter on the roster.

 

Just my opinion...and if I had to pick, I'd replace D-Wade or Melo with Kapono.

I am honestly suprised that D-Wade is even playing because of the injury that he is coming off of. It just surprised me.

Me too...

I agree with that move. Also, with Kobe and D-Wade on the team, either of those 2 are more than capable to run and defend at the PG spot.

 

Yea it just seems to make more sense.
