Not a clean ankle break. He got pushed and possibly even trips over the dude's foot.

If Melo continues this performance and leads the team to the Gold medal... does that make him the best player in USA basketball history?


You could make a case for LeBron too, but Melo does have some good numbers in 2008 and thus far in 2012. But in the end, the sheer volume of games played by James and Anthony give them the best shot for that distinction (as David Robinson is the only other NBA player to rep the USA in 3 different Olympics iIrc).

How did James Harden make the team exactly? Not like it matters, but I feel like they ripped off other more deserving players.


I thought Eric Gordon deserved the spot, not only for his overall game, but because having a 3rd Thunder member seemed like favoritism a little bit.

Not that I know of. It seems like NBC holds the rights only, because when I looked for highlights on ESPN or NBA TV, they show still pics of the game, with no footage whatsoever.

There were highlights on Sportscenter this morning but last night they only had pictures of the game.

This free throw shooting and defense is unacceptable.

And they just shoot to many threes. Dont know why this team is being such a jump shooting team. If they shoot bad like this against a top 3 team they in trouble.

Both three's the USA hit with under four minutes to go (Deron off of Paul offensive rebound and LeBron off Paul steal).

Chris Paul = WINNING!

Finally pressing the issue.

That spin move to get the layup by Bron was sick.

The US's defense sucks, and it's mainly due to not having ANYBODY in the post. Dwight Howard is missed so much.

Kevin Durant sucks, get that boy Melo in there and let Durant watch the show.
