If the Olympics were played with NBA rules then it makes sense but it's not. International rules favor scoring, shooting (especially the shorter 3-pt shot) and you need the type of agile, athletic bigs with good lateral quickness to keep up with international big men that play a lot more on the perimeter in a open style offense. The US will likely being playing Melo and LeBron often together because they will run into teams with a lot of quick, great shooting teams that play 4 perimeter players and not a traditional low post PF. Also, what 7-foot American player in the NBA would have been good enough to in the Olympics? I can only think of Tyson Chandler. Regarding the Celtics, KG he declined to play and I think Ray Allen did as well. Just like Tim Duncan and Amare did. The questioning should be based around players are choosing NOT to play rather than why they weren't selected by the committee.
