Why USA basketball team dosent use some great players in olymic 2008 ?

Question

USA a become the camp again but why not using KEVIN GARNET or VINCE CARTER or TIM DUNKEN & TRACY MACGRADY ???

Why with out them ?

Answer 1

A lot of players choose not to want to play for the USA during the summer is their only break and the want to take advantage of it and so the choose not to play and for the most part carter and macgrady wouldnt be a good fit in this years team.

Answer 2

There to old and the team they had was one of the best they could have ever made.  They had Wade, Melo, Kobe, King James and Howard.

They make all the players you listed useless plus V-C iis playing way under par and K-G probably wants to stay home because he finally won a chapionship.

Answer 3

They probably asked them, but they probably declined.

Besides i think the team we had this yaer was one of the best even without the players you listed

Answer 4

I don't think Duncan is a US citizen; he's from some Caribbean Island nation.

VC is too old.

McGrady was probably too exhausted trying to carry his team during the play-offs, when Yao Ming was injured.

KG is basking in his championship glow, and staying home with his family.

Answer 5

cause they feel that these players are too old and why complain if we just won the gold medal

Answer 6

To old.....

Answer 7

I really dont know, other than the fact some guys dont wanna play. I know Amare Stoudemire didnt want to, so he didnt play. T Mac can stay home, he is terribly overrated, and Vince Carter isnt the same anymore. Garnett and Duncan would have been huge with Bosh/Howard, but I think USA done just fine. Should have left Carmello and his LAZY defense in the US, (dont care how many points he scores, his defense allows more)  

Answer 8

they like to keep the team young so they are faster
