Playing a brand of basketball all season that discouraged anything but all out team defense and unselfish ball movement to create offensive, it is a travesty that nary a lad from the Green will represent the country this year in Beijing.
Pierce, Allen and Garnett will watch the games from home this year while players they wiped the court with represent the league in international play.
I hope I am wrong but the USA olympic team doesn't seem to have the best team players going to China this time around.

It doesn't matter, everyone on that team can dunk and chuck 3's. It doesn't help you beat the teams that play the fundamentals. Defense, passing (and I am not talking about no look and bouncing off the backboard passes) and high percentage shots. The rest of the world has caught up.
