USA Basketball

The rosters are out for the 2010-2012 USA national team

Once again Team USA decided to pick mostly superstars to play on the Olympic basketball team. Is this a good idea?

The USA basketball team is clearly loaded at guard, with the likes of Kobe Bryant, Dwayne Wade, and Chris Paul at the forefront. At the three spot there lies some length and athleticism with LeBron and company. But what about the big men?

Will the Americans have the athleticism and luck necessary to win the gold medal?

The biggest complaint thus far on the 2008 USA Basketball roster is that there's only three true big men.

Ever since 1992 in Barcelona, when professionals were able to take part in USA Basketball, the team has attempted to show their superiority on a global stage.

Even though they faced a field that wasn't at full strength, these two major additions will help USA win gold in Beijing.

While the NBA attempts to rid itself of teenagers with an age limit, US Soccer expanded its rosters, encouraged young players to go pro and created an avenue for the players to train with professionals and get playig time through a Reserve league.

Jerry Colangelo and Mike Krzyzewski have selected 27 NBA players as part of the 2010-12 USA Basketball player pool. See if your favorite player was invited to be part of the experience or not.

The 2010 to 2012 American Men's Basketball team has been selected recently, the second coming of the DREAM TEAM?

But, do NBA teams have a responsibility to be more involved with the development of future players? And, if so, what role should NBA teams take?

Different experts have suggested fifferent means of correcting the problem. My solution, however, is unique: send second round draft picks and hire Rick Majerus as the standing National Team Head Coach.
