why is Jason Kidd on the Olympic team?

[nhoj]

They need someone that can slap around the other bitches on the team.

Maybe they feel bad for him that his career is coming to an end?

He'll be just fine with Kobe and LeBron on his team though. They could put three scrubs with those two and still be favorites to win gold.

How the US doesn't beat each team by at least 50, let alone even win the gold, I'll never understand.

Always wondered the samething. Now everyone is going to think the Rat can coach again. Too bad for him the Duke run is over!:tongue2:

you mean a token mixed guy? I'd rather them have a dead-eye shooter like Korver than Kidd

Agree 100 percent. A Korver type would be perfect to spread the floor so Bron and Kobe etc can abuse the single covergae.

D. Williams will dominate the playing time at PG. Better athlete than Kidd, more physical, can get to the rim and distribute. Kidd should be the back up.

Team will prob. win but they still could have done a better job of assembling it

For sure. They didn't throw another big guy on the team b/c there just isn't a premier big man defender anywhere to be found. So much of the international game is played in space and they have to be able to go out and defend a 6' 10" on the perimeter.

They need better shooters than they have. And who will be the leader of this team? That's where they will struggle, if they get down, who takes over the game. Melo, Bron, and Kobe all can but who will they go to? How you gonna get two of those guys to be roll players?
