The U.S. men's Olympic basketball team was decided without tryouts and is made up of NBA all-stars and some of the biggest names in U.S. basketball.
The team involves Carmelo Anthony, Carlos Boozer, Chris Bosh, Kobe Bryant, Dwight howard, LeBron James, Jason Kidd, Chris Paul, Tayshaun Prince, Michael Redd, Dwyane Wade and Deron Williams.
The U.S. basketball team has had mixed results in past Olympic and International play. In the 2000 Olympic Games, the U.S. basketball team won first place. At the 2004 Olympic Games the all-star U.S. team finished in an unexpected third place and in 2002 the world championship team finished sixth. However, fans are hopeful that this team will redeem the U.S. and get the gold at the Beijing Olympics.
The team will play an exhibition game against Canada and then play four more once it gets to Asia. The team will then play in its first Olympic game against China on August 10.
What do you think about this all star team? How do you think it is going to do in the Olympics?
