Olympic Basketball

Artest is a punk. He's been better this year, but I still won't ever like him again. Reggie, all-time favorite. ✅

McGrady officially dropped.

I dont understand why anyone would pass up the opportunity to say that they are the best in the WORLD. WHY??

i dont even have to assume that the U.S. will win, i know they will. they havent lost since the Olympic judges said professional players are allowed to participate.

They lost in the 2002 World Basketball Championships... under Jermaine O'Neal's leadership of course 😖hifty:

they'll lose this year

the only dream team worthy of the name was the original

what the hell was Jermaine O'Neil doing leading the team? who was on the team?? there are so many players out there better than he is.

i dont beleive how many players are dropping out...what ever happened to wanting prove yourself to be the best in the world...it just goes to show how alot of players today are all about themselves and not a team...i can understand some of the like malone he's old and kobe with the tough year he has had but i dont understand why people like McCrady are dropping out........at least our boy Iverson aint goin nowhere 😄

alright i guess now the rumor is that carmelo anthony is the next canditate to replace Mcgrady and that would put 2 rookies on the team... i dont like that i dont mind one rookie because the orginal dream team had christian laettner and he was just comin out of college...but there are better players out there than anthony that deserved to be asked like artest, miller, and ben wallace

Artest is a Punk.

Artest is the sh*t *walks off to play defense with hand in the air*

About damn time. Ben Wallace is now expected to be added to the Olympic team as I had been hoping for. They apparently asked him 2 weeks ago that if invited, would he go. Of course he said he would if invited. So no invitation yet, but sounds like he should get it.

he better if they ask carmelo anthony over him i;m gonna start a riot

Carmelo is a different position, if he gets on, its going to be in T-Mac position. However, HE GOT THE INVITE! Just waiting on official announcement now of Big Ben on the Olympic squad.

Iverson is a douche bag. He got in trouble for parking in handicap spaces because his knee is a little banged up. YOUR A PRO ATHLETE! You don't need a handicap space.

Btw: Malone said for sure he's not going to play in the Olympics yesterday.

😆....hey i think we've all parked in handicaped spaces at least once

I haven't! 😠

Even so, they should be setting examples. People look up to pro athletes.

umm yea me neither 😏...the honest athletes will be the 1st one to tell you that they dont want to be role models....there human just like anyone else...look at barkley....he was throwing people outa bars when he played literally....he threw that one dude out of the window

Bibby officially dropped.

However, they say that Wade is a higher possibility to join the team than Carmelo. I like Wade, really I do, but after one decent rookie season on a overachieving team, I don't think he should be on the Olympic team quite yet.

😱 i love wade even back when he played at marquette...i'd take him over anthony anyday anthony had the better season but he didnt carry his team during the playoffs like wade...wade put that team on his shoulders and got pretty far....and miami didnt overachieve thats a young team with alot of talent ig they can keep that team togethor there gonna be up there for sure

Anthony's team had a better record than Wade's and Anthony did better individually than Wade. Miami did well in the playoffs because they played well as a team, it wasn't Wade carrying them although he did play well. But I still don't think it was good enough to be even considered for the Olympics.
