Is there any doubt that the following team would walk away with a Gold Medal - without even practicing? Funny thing is, not one single player was chosen for either the USA Basketball's 2002 Men's World Championship or 2004 Olympics Team embarrassments. Should be interesting to see if any of the younger players (e.g. Billups, Arenas, Heinrich or Bosh) are selected to represent the Dream Team in 2006...
PG: Chauncey Billups
SG: Gilbert Arenas
SF: Ron Artest
PF: Rasheed Wallace
C: Marcus Camby
PG: Sam Cassell
SG: Kirk Heinrich
SF: Jason Richardson
PF: Chris Bosh
C: Alonzo Mourning
Coach: Phil Jackson
Some of the more questionable historical selections:
2002: Andre Miller, Antonio Davis and Raef LaFrentz - besides the fact that Raef simply can't play, how is it possible that someone with the name Raef LaFrentz could have been chosen, or even eligible to represent the USA.
2004: Carlos Boozer and Richard Jefferson - Im convinced that besides Larry Brown, Jefferson, and his inability to make a wide open jump shot / 3-pointer (which isnt even NBA range) was the most responsible for the USA's disappointing Bronze metal finish.
