At least last year Mike Miller and Kirk Hinrich were getting heavy consideration. There's no reason to root for them at all now.

But I thought diversity was our strength?

I'm not a religious guy but I'll be praying very hard for Lithuania, Spain, Italy, Serbia, Argentina, Russia and anyone else to beat "our" Dream Team this summer.

You might not have to pray that hard Liverlips, our dream team has gotten beat pretty often over the last decade. The Greece "upset" wasn't even close if my memory is correct. Didn't they win that by 15 points or more. I sure enjoyed watching it.

And two white guys: Mike Krzyzewski, the head coach and Jerry Colangelo, Director of USA basketball are primarily responsible for this.

It's too bad Dirk Nowitzki and Steve Nash are playing for different countries, since they make the actual choices (uh-huh, Jason Kidd.. right...) seem like such a joke.

Maybe we can take a cue from another group and start rioting, boycotting and protesting. We can demand a team that "looks like America" with all the "strength, beauty and wisdom," of an American tapestry (or some other stupid saying that the lefties always use).

But I do think this racist "Nightmare Team" will go down to a superior all-white team. Not that this will stop the U.S. from fielding all-black teams. But it is fun to go into sports bars and see these fat, drunk white fans all sad and blue because "their" team lost to a bunch of whiteys with names they can't even pronounce.

Neveda don't delude yourself those players you mentioned are black. Ask them who they identify with and they all will say black. Go to their homes and you'd issues of Jet and Ebony lying around. You know, those racist black publications.

Look at that studdering fool who is running for President. He is half white, raised by his white mother and white grandparents and still he considers himself black. His black irresponsible daddy was no where to be seen, except on the continent of Africa chasing another dumb white woman around or maybe one of his own natives females that time.

Kidd has a white wife doesnt he? I would say he is someone to root for on caste football. he's not overly hyped up on his athleticism either.

I'm not a huge fan of the NBA. Can anyone tell me which white players were passed over? Any obvious cases of racism?

I don't think there were any Liverlips. We've brainwashed coaches, scouts and -most importantly- prospective athletes that white Americans need not apply for basketball. All the best white players in the NBA (or at least the ones who get a shot) are foreigners who didn't grow up constantly being told that they can't hold a candle to the almighty black man. It's a f#$&ing tragedy.

I think there is one white American that should have made the "Dream Team". Mike Miller is much more athletic than Michael Redd who is a poor athlete, actually significantly less athletic than J.J Reddick according to his workout numbers. Michael Redd shot a lower FG% this year than Miller 44% compared to 50% and FG% is very important at the Olympics where less defensive fouls are called to send the American stars to the line. Redd also shot a lower 3 point FG% than Miller 36% compared to 43% and is a worse rebounder and passer and only around equal defensively. It is the same story with their careers as this season. I'm sure the U.S team went with Michael Redd because the consensus is he is better for no other reason than he shoots more! Picking Redd for the U.S team over Miller is a huge mistake.

Redd's by the numbers for the season and career:
G MIN FGM-A FG% 3PM-A 3P% FTM-A FT% OFF DEF TOT STL BLK TO PF AST PTS

Mike Miller by the numbers for the season and career:

The fact that Miller was left off in favor of Michael Redd is another reason for me to root "very" hard against the United States basketball team. I would prefer Canada anyway, even if both teams were equally fair to white players which they are not!

Racial issues aside, this team will have the same problems that the 04' team had. The team only has one center and if Howard gets in foul trouble or is tired they could get manhandled by bigger teams. Seeing the US playing in the 6th place game against Togo will be fun to watch...

Also this team has diversity, they have royalty in a Prince, they have young Kidds, and have even recovering alcoholics in a Boozer.....

As much as I would like and even expect this team to not win gold at the Olympics, I think them playing for 6th place against Togo is far fetched, not going to happen. I hope they do that badly but in reality anything less than the gold is a disaster for this star studded team.

they only have 3 power players!!!

Bosh, Boozer, and Howard. that's it!

and only one of those three (Howard) is a big shot blocker.

so they have one backup big man. and one shooter in Michael Redd.

it's the same damn team over and over again!

and I know this isn't the Kevin Love thread, but he would have been a good fit on this team. He has beef, he can bang inside, he is a good rebounder, great outlet passer and he can shoot from the outside. plus he is smart and hustles. before he lost weight he reminded me of a fat Larry Bird. now that he has lost weight he could be a very good player.


also, no Chauncey Billups? no Rip Hamilton? No KG? No Paul Pierce? No Ray Allen? those guys are veterans, winners and can all shoot as well as do other things.

just a dumb team.

All of those guys were asked, along with Tim Duncan, but they declined the invitations. After easily winning the gold in 1992, 1996, and 2000, the novelty of pros playing in the Olympics wore off. For foreign countries, it's an honor to represent your nation. For NBA players, it's a nuisance that for many years they were trying to get out of.


In 2004, the US only sent 2 All-Stars, 1 injured, and they still got the bronze. This years guys had enough of people saying the other countries caught up in talent, so they decided to give a damn and play.This team is not the same as the others inany way, shape, or fashion.

Maximum douche has returned, yet again, to tell us that a team with 2 NBA MVPs is not a good team.

Nevada,the incredible stupidity of what you just said isn't worthy of a response, butI'llgraciously give you one anyway.


The OLYMPICS isn't about sending a "good" team.. it's about sending yourBEST team. Your BEST team has a better chance of winning it all, than a relatively "good" team does.You with me so far?Do understand that concept?Would you like me to break it down into even simpler terms? I'll give it a shot.


Both of these sprint teamsconsidered "good". Both of them would at least win at least a bronze like Team USA Basketball did in '04.Now using your brain, which one do you think might have a BETTER chance at going toetotoe with Jamaica, Trinidad, and the Bahamas, and taking the gold?And why?

Now using your warped, inane, draconian, simpleton logic, if Team USA has a "good" team, they should win the 4x100 relay gold against the elite of the elite, REGARDLESS OF WHO THEY TEAMWITH THEIR 2 BEST SPRINTERS. Barring injury, Jamaica will have their 4 best. Trinidad will have their 4 best. Bahamas will have their 4 best. But you think we could justhave 2 of our best, and team them up with our 25th and 26th best, and still be just as competitive?


Do you know see how dumb what you just said was? Our basketball players are so vastlysuperior to other countries, that we actually came in 3rd place with a tream that was pure garbage in comparion to the 3 teams we sent in '92, '96, and '00.Barring injury, other countries send their absolute best.We sent 2*OF*ourbest, plus 10 inexperienced spare parts, who didn't even make our 24 player All-Star squads, andcame in 3rd.





In 2004, if we sent:

nevada, i've alwaysnoticed that peoplewho aren't very bright, and, to borrow a phrase from Al Campanis, lack the necessities to verbally joust, and defend theiridiotic, indefensiblecomments,are often reduced tohurling invectives at their opponents rather thansimply manning up, and admitting they've been mercilessly owned.


Trust me.. watching you crumpleunder the weight of your ignorance, and resort to what people of your ilk are apt to do, is of no surprise to me whatsoever. I see other posters punk your pretty much on a daily basis, so frankly, it was expected.


But I still owned you, and you couldn't respond

.Why don't you take that little thought to bed with you tonight, and try to recover in the morning.Sweet dreams.

I seem to recall the US being within a long three from losing to Lithuania in the Semis at Sydney. Also they had a 4 point lead on France with about 2 minutes to go. If that is crushing your competition, then what's squeeking by them...
