New question about team usa?

Question

last year i was pretty confused as to why the roster for team usa did not contain more all-stars and more veterans. i thought doing that could bring "GUARANTEED" gold. but then i found out that the reason for this is because playing during the off-season can take a toll on their bodies, and interfere with the players real goal on an nba ring.

my question is, who would you choose for team usa?

base you selections strictly on TALENT, and nevermind issues regarding injury, age, chemisty, etc.

Answer 1

Given that you can only have 12 players on the roster, it does make it a little hard to choose outside of 5 certain players.

1. LeBron James

2. Kobe Bryant

3. Dwayne Wade

4. Chris Paul

5. Dwight Howard

Those are a definite 5 that would be on almost EVERYONE's list.

For the remaining 7 roster spots, my list goes as follows.

6.  Deron Williams

7. Shawn Marion

8. Amare Stoudamire

9. Chauncey Billups

10. Carmelo Anthony

11. Tim Duncan

12. Gilbert Arenas

It's really hard to narrow it down with so much talent in the NBA...I mean you got really young guys like Greg Oden, Brandon Roy, Loul Deng, Ben Gordon, not to mention NBA veterans like Vince Carter and Tracy McGrady.
