What are they gonna be? My hopeful lineup is... C-Duncan, Shaq PF-Webber, KG SF-Vince, T Mac SG- Kobe, Peirce ( hopefully mobley) Pg- Davis, Francis, (Mabe Andre Miller),(hopefully AI) What do ya'll think. And remeber think like stern would so no AI's or Rasheed's. Rasheed=
Tmac over Vince Trade Pierce and Vince around Kidd will be on there somewhere I doubt they will pick Francis since they have never picked him for any other international events.
german rocketfan, no Ming mania allowed on this thread!!!! It is not possible for Yao Ming to be on the dream team as a US citizen, even if he defected earlier today.
Bibby over Francis... LMAO! Come on, he had a good play-off series against the Lakers. Other then that the guy has done nothing compared to Stevie. Unless you are basing this assuming he is not picked for ignorant reasons, this is laughable. Also I'm not sure Kidd will be chosen for another USA team, they should give other players a chance to experience the honour of playing for their country. Givin that, this is my predicted team: C- Shaq, Duncan, O'neal PF- Webber, KG, O'neal SF- TMac, VC SG- Bryant, Allen, Francis PG- Miller, Francis, Davis
WHAT!?!?!?! All Antoine Walker does is dribble and launch three pointers! He's overated in my opinion. Until he has a post up game, and drives to the hoop, he shouldnt get a sniff of the Olympics.
Lead his team in points, rebounds and assists in his rookie year. Became only the 7th player to do so if I remember correctly. He also made the all-star team. What has Bibby done?
that's not too hard when there's no other talent on the team... faded Barkley and Olajuwon Bibby had to "contend with" Shareef Abdur Rahim for stats... Bibby nearly lead a team to the NBA Finals and is the probable final piece in Sacramento's title run... He has stepped up his game to superstar level during a playoff run and proved to be a clutch player under pressure situations. Yes, Francis hasn't had the chance to prove himself in the playoffs, thus for now Bibby has done more b/c he has had the chance. bibby has done more at the present time than francis by leading his team to a great playoff run and proving himself, thus i think he deserves a spot more than does francis.
"What has Bibby done?" Played well in the regular season and the playoffs. Made his team better. I am a J-will supporter but Bibby (obviously) made the Kings a much better team. Sure Stoyo made a difference as did Turkolo but the Kings were a good team even when C-webb was injured. Until Stevie can take his team to the playoffs he will be regarded as a good, but not great player. It's tough for me to call Bibby great, but he did the most important thing sa player can do, he made his team better.
Kobe will definitly be picked this time and I expect Shaq to be picked but he won't want to go. I also expect AI to get invited. However, what about the Stackhouses and players like that who have gone far in the playoffs but don't get all the recognition they deserve?
Well let's see what Francis has done. He is very good at passing to Cat. He makes sure he and Cat get most of the shots. He has no sense of team play. Other than that he is great.
Shaq may be retired by 2004, if not, he declines invite. C - Tim Duncan PF - Chris Webber, Kevin Garnett SF - Tracy McGrady, Vince Carter, Lamar Odom SG - Kobe Bryant, AI, Ray Allen PG - Jason Kidd, Mike Bibby Plus LEBRON JAMES Which other newbies have the potential of making this team? Shane Battier? Mike Dunleavy? Jay Williams? Caron Butler? Any new up and coming big men, from THIS country???
