    Kmart? Terry? wally? Madsen(lol)?

    what a joke.

    Still, I'm glad Francis isn't playing, gives him more time to recruit.

    this is a joke. but who cares. I'd rather Francis and boys get together for the summer and practice our fastbreak.

    Does anyone else think this might have something to do with Francis dissing Canada in a game of little Goodwill?

    Says something about the selection Committee
    those 3 guys SHOULD BE THERE. Hell
    them and 3 scrubs from this years draft
    could give the GOODWILL TEAM a run for their money
    :)

    A team of francis, odom, diop, brand, cisse could seriously give the top 5 of the goodwill teams a very good game.

    Maybe Stevie is olympic bound ? Other then Marion, there are really no candidates for the next olympics, imo. Maybe it's wishful thinking, but I don't see a logical rason why Terry and even Baron/Davis (who I consider peers of stevie) make the team. It doesn't make sense.

    Odom's out because the selection committee probably envisions him passing around the reefer at half-time. Our own Steve Franchise probably was passed over because he shows way too much enthusiasm for the game, he really loves his job, and we just don't need that kind of attitude on the court, do we [​IMG]? We have to be as Stern as your name, eh, commissioner?

    How was Marc Jackson eligible?

    He is older than 22 and was drafted in '97 - not 99 or 00.

    I would guess that within the next year the committee will have a pretty good idea who will be on the team. Here's my guesses :

    finley
    iverson
    allen
    mcdyess
    bryant
    webber
    shaq
    duncan
    kidd
    KG

    Most of those guys will be on the team, if they elect to go.
