[BAMMER]

cmon, Baron Davis is easily the best American PG. He just needs to lay off those stupid 3s

I take it your a Copper St. fan?

Baron would'nt make my roster if I could add 20 more guys.

 

[herm96]

jamison shouldnt be there and cant believe amare going to play with that injury. wouldnt u think you he would take the summer off. he will probably withdraw.

 

[AC Transit]

Jamison is good for the squad - he hits the offensive boards and is a garbage player. You don't need to run anything for him and you know he'll give you 110% effort.

 

[Fucky McFuckerson]

[POLTERGEIST]

shane battier come on now?

 

[Fucky McFuckerson]

shane battier come on now?

Thats what i said...same with Jamison and Luke...i dont get it...

 

[BAMMER]

Jamison's 20-10 almost nightly,is that a bad thing?hands down the most underated NBA player,and I agree with ACTransit's reasoning 110%.

There trying to put a "team" together which I agree with.We've proven you can't win with 12 scorers,and I'm even pulling for Bruce Bowen to make it cuz I love defense more than offense.

This is not the OFFCIAL roster....those are all INVITEES...which means no one is guarnteed a spot..

 

[9erfitted]

where are the treal big guys at

 

[fodewada]

all the dookies get in all the rapists get in all the whites and any of them that act white get in this is america isnt it so whos out all the thug lifers

 

[Fucky McFuckerson]

all the dookies get in all the rapists get in all the whites and any of them that act white get in this is america isnt it so whos out all the thug lifers

Im sorry...but this makes absolutely NO sense...what the FUCK are you babbling about?

 

[LaKeRzz8]

all the dookies get in all the rapists get in all the whites and any of them that act white get in this is america isnt it so whos out all the thug lifers

get banned already...

PG - Chauncey Billups, Baron Davis, Allen Iverson, Chris Paul
SG - Dwayne Wade, Ray Allen, Vince Carter, Rip Hamilton
SF - Shawn Marion, Lebron James, Carmelo Anthony, Ron Artest
PF - Kevin Garnett, Elton Brand, Rasheed Wallace, Dwight Howard
C - Marcus Camby, Ben Wallace, Brad Miller

I couldn't pick just 12 so I got 19 here

Are you serious about taking lebron and iverson and not taking kobe? lmao...and btw like half the guys you named didn't even get invites...

 

[jusT_go DUMB]

how do you not invite allen iverson one of the best guards in the league, kevin garnett, and vince carter to the U.S.A. team. I wanna see VC dunk over someone again..

 

[Robby2Slobby]

Rip Hamilton should've made it.. He could hit those threes like crazy. Same with Ray Allen. I don't like the Marion choice..

Who I think will make the 2006 Team:
PG: Gilbert Arenas, Chris Paul
SG: Kobe Bryant, Michael Redd, Dwayne Wade
SF: LeBron James, Shawn Marion, Bruce Bowen
PF: Chris Bosh, Antawn Jamison
C: Dwight Howard, Elton Brand

Chauncey would make it, but he can't go to the 2006 games because his wife is having a baby.

In 2008, remove Bowen and Jamison and add Stoudemire and Billups. I doubt Amare will play because of his injury. He should risk it. The team is weak at PG. I wouldn't be surprised to actually see Ridnour make it because they said they wanted roleplayers. I wouldn't be surprised to see Battier either because he can play defense and would be a good roleplayer to come off the bench. I don't know who'd they take off in that case. Probably Redd, but I think they need shooters since the reason why they lost in 2004 is because they couldn't shoot over the zones. Arenas probably won't make it if Ridnour makes the team. I'm not sure if they'll do that. This team will be weak at the PG position in the 2006 Qualifiers. Hamilton would've killed these teams. Billups will be good in 2008, if he makes it.

But, this is Kobe's team. He'll be the leader. He'll be the guy that'll run the team. He's gonna take the majority of the shots. Hopefully him and LBJ don't mesh badly, and they can play well together. LeBron needs to give Kobe the shots, because he is WAY better than Lebron, at this time.

Like i said previously...evertyone listed...is INVITED TO TRY OUT FOR A SPOT ON THE ROSTER...so everyone needs to relax until the players actually MAKE the cut....
