WTF

No "i cant believe Kobe made the 1st team. God...people are morons...he dont deserve to be on it." comments?

 

[Cheesewater]

God, that's easy. 1st team wins 4-0.

The defense of team 1 would be.. astounding. Team 2 would never score.


On that note, what's up with putting Amare as a center? They shouldn't just be able to move people around at will to get them where they want them. Amare is a PF now, he should be ranked against other PF's.

Come on now. No WAY does Stern let it be a sweep!

Amare has OWNED Dwight Howard in the past

Interesting that on the USA Team, Dwight was the starter and Amare was his back-up.

I wonder if given a full season as a 4 Amare could make 1st team next year. The guy can ball...

So are all these guys on the Olympic team? I noticed that they are all American. Seems like a gold lock to me...

And who is he going to replace? He's not as explosive as LBJ and KG plays defense too.

He's got far less competition at the center position, especially with Duncan being classified as a forward. But even then, Dwight Howard looks to be the prime center in this league for the next few years, depending on what Oden can do.

Yeah, amares lack of D may keep him from ever being all NBA again.

Amare started couple game in the FIBA over Dwight.

Dwight mainly started because Team USA starts two SFs and they would like to have a big man to for the dirty work.

Exactly. Dwight is a true big man, not a princess like Amare.

I agree. the 4 is loaded with talent that is hard to compare. TD, dirk, boozer, amare, west, KG. It's hard for anyone of those guys to just clearly seperate from the rest of the bunch. IMO KG had a hyped year...but he gets in done in all aspects which you have to respect. the 5...howard is a beast. he rebounds...defends...and scores. gasol is in the next lower class of big men.

More importantly, all starters except for C are already dominant scorers. They surely don't have to go all offense with Amare replacing Dwight. It's just more balanced this way.
