Now somewhere down the line your intrepid author must have missed something. Let’s see, what could it have been? Oh, that is right, shouldn’t your Team USA basketball team be loaded with Superstars? Now who would those be? Perhaps you could start with LeBron James and Kobe Bryant and from there move on to Kevin Garnett, Dwyane Wade, and Dwight Howard. Yeah, that would be an excellent way to begin the roster of future Olympians.

Manu Ginobili knows Argentina will have to play perfect to beat the Redeem Team

The United States is a 19 point favorite over Argentina in the semi final game that starts Friday morning at 10 a.m., but hold on here.

Will the NBA be looking to set up shop in China? Yes.

Carmelo Anthony does not want to hand the game to Greece

It has been easy sailing so far for Team USA in Olympic Basketball. China and Angola were really not much competition. Greece is different. They are tough and may expose some weaknesses in the US game.
Greece has beaten the U.S. in the teams’ last two significant meetings, in 2006 and at the 2004 Olympics. Greece, a team without any NBA players, routed Germany, 87-64, holding NBA duo Dirk Nowitzki (13 points) and Chris Kaman (four …read more

Michael Redd concentrates to float the ball

Hey, it was Angola. What can you say? Name your favorite Angolan basketball player. Hmm?
Still the US won the hoop game and they are improving.
If they have any weakness, it is from the outside. Michael Redd is the only true 3 point shooter on the team.
One of these nights, the U.S. team may need to start making some outside shots. Forcing turnovers and converting them into fast breaks has enabled the Americans to average 99 points in 40 …read more
