glad he's being recognized as one of the best guards in the NBA. Here's to EGO who has a very small ego, but a big heart and a great attitude. #UNDERRATED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don't think it's a good idea to play for Jeff Van Gundy on Team USA. Eric is injury prone also, 1 big injury and the Rockets bench scoring is nothing. I like he made the Team, if Mike DAntoni was the Coach for Team USA it's great but Jeff, Yikes.
Quite an honor. Eric's always had the talent. Fighting back from all the injuries over the years has made him mature and grow as a person, to the point that he accepted a role here, where he was able to stay healthy. A true pro now in every sense, he exemplifies the kind of guy you want playing for our country amidst the superstars. Don't underestimate his ability to make the team.Also, with MDA and JVG involved in the process..I like his chances. Go EG ! Go Rockets ! Go USA !
Thought we already had a thread for this from April when it was announced. lmao USA Basketball Announces 35 Player Roster For 2018-20 Men’s National Team Date: Apr 6, 2018 Jerry Colangelo today [April 6th, 2018] announced the 2018-20 USA Men’s National Team roster of players who are expected to attend the July 25-27 USA Men’s National Team minicamp in Las Vegas. Named to the 2018-20 USA National Team are: Harrison Barnes (Dallas Mavericks); Bradley Beal(Washington Wizards); Devin Booker (Phoenix Suns); Jimmy Butler (Minnesota Timberwolves); Mike Conley Jr. (Memphis Grizzlies); DeMarcus Cousins (New Orleans Pelicans); Stephen Curry (Golden State Warriors); Anthony Davis (New Orleans Pelicans); DeMar DeRozan (Toronto Raptors); Andre Drummond (Detroit Pistons); Kevin Durant (Golden State Warriors); Paul George (Oklahoma City Thunder); Eric Gordon (Houston Rockets); Draymond Green (Golden State Warriors); Blake Griffin(Detroit Pistons); James Harden (Houston Rockets); Tobias Harris (Los Angeles Clippers); Gordon Hayward (Boston Celtics); Kyrie Irving (Boston Celtics); LeBron James (Cleveland Cavaliers); DeAndre Jordan (Los Angeles Clippers); Kawhi Leonard (San Antonio Spurs); Damian Lillard (Portland Trail Blazers); Kevin Love (Cleveland Cavaliers); Kyle Lowry (Toronto Raptors); CJ McCollum (Portland Trail Blazers); Khris Middleton (Milwaukee Bucks); Victor Oladipo (Indiana Pacers); Chris Paul (Houston Rockets); Isaiah Thomas (Los Angeles Lakers); Klay Thompson (Golden State Warriors); Myles Turner(Indiana Pacers); Kemba Walker (Charlotte Hornets); John Wall (Washington Wizards); and Russell Westbrook (Oklahoma City Thunder). Did every player on this list get a tweet about sources saying they will indeed attend after accepting the invite in April...or *only* Kawhi and Eric Gordon.
Chris Paul and Blake Griffin, lob city. Blake as a player looks so limited without his athleticism, dunks and lobs only.
Why is Chris Paul going also played around 45 games last year, missed Games 6,7. Why aren't the Rockets Daryl, Tillman tell him no you're not playing. Too scared to get he'll get disgruntled.
