Re: USA basketball to use tryouts for Beijing?
One of the announcers during the bronze medal game made a point that most NBA players wouldn't be willing to try out for a team. Do they seriously want Kobe, TMac, Shaq, ect to try out? I think everybody knows who the best 13-15 American basketball players are, it's not a matter of having try outs to prove who is the best. If TMac didn't want to play on this 04 team when he had a free invitation, why would he want to try out for the 08 team......if they goto the under 21 idea, then a tryout would be useful, but inviting the top players to a tryout will certainly be even LESS sucessful than trying to assemble this year's team was.... -

I think it would be more to see which players form more of a cohesive unit. We obviously didn't have that in Athens. Of course Shaq and Kobe would be on the team, it's just a matter of finding out who would play with them the best.Comment

Re: USA basketball to use tryouts for Beijing?
exactly...while some players would go, most would have too big an ego to try out, seeing it as a slap in the faceOriginally posted by fsquidIf players are going to be bitches and not represent their country with only a 3-4 week commentment, do you think they are going to try out??Nintendo Switch Friend Code: SW-7009-7102-8818Comment
