USA Basketball Team Announced

















According to NBA. com
2008 USA Men’s Senior National Team Roster

NAME

Carmelo Anthony F 6-8 230 5/29/84 Denver Nuggets Syracuse University
Carlos Boozer F 6-9 258 11/20/81 Utah Jazz Duke University
Chris Bosh F 6-10 230 3/24/84 Toronto Raptors Georgia Tech
Kobe Bryant G 6-6 220 8/23/78 Los Angeles Lakers Lower Merion H.S. (PA)
Dwight Howard F/C 6-11 265 12/08/85 Orlando Magic Southwest Atlanta Christian Acd. (GA)

Jason Kidd G 6-4 212 3/23/73 Dallas Mavericks University of California
Chris Paul G 6-0 170 5/06/85 New Orleans Hornets Wake Forest University
Tayshaun Prince F 6-9 205 2/28/80 Detroit Pistons University of Kentucky
Michael Redd G 6-6 215 8/24/79 Milwaukee Bucks Ohio State University
Dwyane Wade G 6-4 212 1/17/82 Miami Heat Marquette University
Deron Williams G 6-3 205 7/26/84 Utah Jazz University of Illinois

There is only a couple big powerful players on the team in Orlando's Dwight Howard, and Utah's Carlos Boozer. I'm also suprised Team USA would want Carmelo Anthony of the team. Duke's Mike Krzyzewski will try and lead Team USA to gold.

Training begins June 28-29 in Las Vegas, Nevada. The Olympics will take place August 8-24 in Beijing, China.
