and probably wants to hype up his international branding even more...
London though. Who wouldn't wanna go?

I have gotten used to it already, I don't hate Kobe at all. Just doesn't make sense, One Gold Medal is enough but I guess he wants back in to be on par with Michael Jordan (he has that complex, #24? #10?). He should take the off-season, off; get healthy and rest those knees up.![]()

Putting Blake on the team is the mentality of someone constructing the team a decade ago (how'd that work out?). He plays zero defense and doesn't stretch the floor on offense. Power forwards in FIBA must be able to stretch the floor, which is why Love and Aldridge/Bosh should be there. Maybe Love isn't the best defender, but with Tyson and Howard tag-teaming down low, it won't matter as much.
And please don't compare anything from 1992 to today. Barkley dominated because teams tried to run with the Dream Team. The game is a lot slower now. And even in '92, if he had to, Barkley could hit an 18-foot jumper. Blake can't even do that.

I'd rather have Lamarcus than Bosh and Blake Griffin over Tyson... Blake would be dope on the squad. His athleticism is unmatched on the international level and would dominate like Charles back in 92

And you obviously don't watch FIBA tournaments. The 5-spot doesn't have to stretch the floor. They run pick and rolls and clean up the boards for put backs. Team USA's biggest problem, over the last decade-plus, is pick and roll defense. Blake would get KILLED every time on P&R if he was there instead of Chandler. They need two defensive centers to help lock it down and still be able to guard the rim. There's plenty of scoring on the rest of the roster.Originally Posted by MoonMan818

Tyson Chandler can stretch the floor?![]()
Blake Griffin would play amazing with the best players in the world. surrounding him.
Dwight, Blake, and Lebron on the floor at the same time?![]()

Every player for USA athleticism is unmatched on the international level pretty much isn't it?![]()
Give me Tyson and some more defense. I wouldn't be opposed to Griffin making it over some other guys like Bosh though.
