Why Isnt KG on the Olympic Team???

Question

Hes better than Bosh, and more athletic than Tim Duncan and arguably the best PF in the game today, is he just sitting it out or did he actually not get picked, i know hes been on there before.

Answer 1

If Coach K picked  the team, I don't think the best players would get onto the team. But I think KG did get chosen but he didn't want to.

Answer 2

KG has already got an MVP, defensive player award, an olympic gold medal and a NBA ring, probably nothing to prove really...he'd be putting 20,12,4 if he was still in Minnesota! but he'd be in the playoffs but wouldn't be able to win the Ring. So i agree, he's one of the best PF in the game!

Answer 3

he was scared for his saftey he thought their might be a terroist attack

Answer 4

because he doesnt want to be. team USA cant force players to play for their country.  

Answer 5

Kevin Garnett was offered a spot on the team, but he declined.

Answer 6

He already was on the 2000 US Olypmic team that won the gold in Sydney.

He was part of the team that almost lost to Lithuania with a 2 point lead at the end.

I think that kinda scared him off.

I'm more curious why Tracy McGrady ain't on the team... he would'a been a boost defensively (not that the defense is bad on the current lineup).

Answer 7

I don't think he tried to get into the team. I think Bosh is a center, not a pf.

KG is really impressive as a defensive player.

Answer 8

kevin garnet will never, i mean NEVER be better than tim duncan.

get that straight. kevin garnett cries on tv more and hits his chest more and is a little more agile...but...

look at the stats, garnett doesnt compare to duncan.
