View Poll Results: Will the USA basketball team win gold at the Beijing Olympics?
Of course, they now have unquestioned leadership in Kobe and Jason Kidd. Watching NBAtv players have already agreed that those two basically call the shots and then Kobe says he still even refers to JKidd. So there is an established hierarchy this time. Not to mention JKidd has always received a Gold medal and nothing less in his appearances.

Did you just say that Kobe has "unquestioned leadership"???
He and Carmelo are the only reasons I think we might not win.
There needs to be at least one more big man to compliment Howard.
If I were having to coach against this team, id go with a zone and 1. Man up on Redd or whoever the hot shooter is and bunch up the basket. They need another true center..Dwight will be a liability at the end of the game. Theyll only go as far as their 3 point shooting if that is the real lineup..Ive heard Tayshaun may be left off for another center, which would make perfect sense.

Carmelo has been one of the most consistent players on the USA team.
I think they should drop kidd for another shooter or another big. For another PG, I'd rather have andre miller, deron williams or maybe arenas if he's healthy over kidd.
As far as centers, stoudemire comes to mind, but not sure who else.
They could use another pure spot up shooter, but from looking at the lineup, don't know who I'd take off.

I'm telling you guys! I was almost 80% percent sure the pure shooters on the team were mike miller and Michael Redd. I don't see why they would have left Miller off the team they definitely need another pure shooter on the team after the last fiasco.

That has to be the dumbest thing I've ever read. Seriously man, you've said some ignorant stuff before but this one almost takes the cake. Obviously you haven't kept up with USA basketball since the Dream Team.

Again. Kobe and Carmelo are the reasons we will lose IF we lose. What don't you understand about that?
I remember that we got Bronze last time. That was after the dream team. You'd know that if you'd hop off Kobe's cock long enough to give those little white girls a shot at it.
