2008 Olympics Basketball Roster Named

Tuesday June 24, 2008

LeBron James and Company hope to avenge a poor showing in 2004

After only winning a bronze medal at the 2004 Olympics in Athens, Greece, how will USA Basketball respond? By sending these players to try to get back the gold and once again cement the United States' footing as a dominant force in internation men's basketball.

The addition of current NBA MVP, Kobe Bryant, made a difference during last year's FIBA America's qualifying tournament and he should do the same at the 2008 Olympics in Beijing, China... despite what Shaquille O'Neal raps about Kobe.
