Here the complete list of US players who will be playing in the Beijing, China Olympics on August 8-24 as announced in front of press last June 23, 2008 at Colorado Springs, Colo by Jerry Colangelo. These players have been together for 3 years during summer and played the 2006 and 2007 FIBA cup. They are also confident that they can grab the gold medal and redeem their selves from what happened in 2004 Olympics.
Colangelo said, “The 12 players selected have incredible talent, and more importantly, we think this team has excellent leadership; great versatility and balance; and very good chemistry which are critical parts in building a great team.I believe this team is a team all Americans can and will be proud of,”. For me Colangelo was right and this lineup is stunning, it has all the players a team must have. Just think of Lebron James and Kobe Bryant playing together. WOW! I can’t wait for August 8 and watch these players play against the best basketball team in the world.
