A serious Shaq would intimidate the mess out of the 12.

The banging would be fierce and you could bring in such greats as Kareem and Worth for the centers.

You could bring in a whole plethora of LA guards who are old skool for the guards. I’d watch it.

when is marbury just going to go away? he is a never was, kinda like me

Why wasn’t Beasley invited and why didn’t Harris play, he was suited up?

Kevin Durant and Rudy Gay stole the show. OJ Mayo is shorter than I thought and Durant is taller than I thought and skinnier. Durant will be on the next team no questions asked. Lopez would be a good big man for Team USA. Thaddeus Young looked like he was out to prove something. OJ Mayo canned 3 3′s in a row, then bricked his next 3. After Josh Smith crammed Mayo’s layup down his throat, Mayo camped out behind the line and never even considered driving to the hoop.

Who feels in Michael Redd’s spot shooting? If Team USA brings Redd back, I will diarrhea down both legs! Dude plays zero d and is a walking turnover whenever he puts the rock on the floor. But a spot up shooter is needed on Team USA. So who is the next spot up shooter? Watching Kyle Korver last night, he could fill that role. What’s your take? He plays better d than Redd and you don’t cringe whenever he puts the rock on the floor.

Who are the best American spot shooters in the game right now?

So there might be a spot for him.

My projection of guys who played last night that will be on the team in ’12:
Kevin Durant
Brook Lopez
Brandon Roy
Kyle Korver
Rudy Gay / Josh Smith (for his defense)

Borch is a huge failure. The jazz team doctors are idiots if okaying him, and getting the jazz brass’ hopes up. Even 1st year medical students are taught about avascular necrosis . . . that shit never heals esp when it’s the navicular bone in the foot. That’s rudimentary. Just makes me sick that they were dumb-asses and said “yeah, he’s okay,” so the Jazz traded for him on draft night. Seriously, avascular necrosis of the navicular in a normal human being can be lived with . . . on a guy 7’2 and 270+ lb is a whole different kind of strain (esp for a guy making a living by jumping up and down and running).

That’s part of the reason why Yao will NEVER be 100% again, his feet have taken such a banging from how big he is, daily. It’s a damn shame physiology has not kept in step with how big (due to eating, working out, training, and suppliments) anatomy can get.

There’s a reason we don’t see brontosaurus anymore, shit that big did not become effecient at living.

usa team — d.rose as the point, any two other fowards/bigs will do to replace tay and booz (healthy al jefferson, ronnie brewer), maybe grainger as the scoring wing (?)

NBA 4th and long — greg ostertag as host, and not tryouts to longshots, but just him ‘working’ with the plethora of white guys the jazz have stockpiled at center (fesenko, koufos, suton, tomic, dragicevic)
