Question

Why aren't Shaq O'Neal, Allen Iverson, Kevin Garnett and Steve Nash in the Redeem Team?

Answer 1

shaq/iverson are getting old, and the main goal of usa was to make a team that would contend and be good for years to come (they have a lot of people from the 03 draft class). steve nash is canadian, and kevin garnett... i'd say have garnett on the team instead of boozer.  

Answer 2

Shaq is too old and slow and he already played in the Olympics, Iverson doesn't fit, KG I would have loved to have him on the team but he's already played in the Olympics and as he's getting older he prolly wants to save his energy.

Judging by your name you must be new to basketball. I mean asking why isn't on the team d**n?

Answer 3

KG-Declined to play in the olympics this year

Shaq-didnt get an invite probally because of age

Nash-used to play for canada but has not played for them in a while

A.I.-Didnt get an invite because of his style of play doesnt fit what the us is tryin 2 do

Kg declined to play

Shaq is just to old
