Those were his two worst years of shooting, boutons. For his career, he's a .394 shooter from beyond the arc. Nothing like skewing the statistics to support your non-point.
"Michael Redd"
3G% of 35% for last two seasons, about the same a very mediocre SJax.
Redd is not in NBA Top50 for 04/05, not in FG% nor 3G%.
Try to get somebody who can shoot the ing ball with some efficiency. Olympics are essentially single-game elimination.

"two worst years of shooting years"
The recent past is best predictor of imminent future. As the main scorer for Bucks, why has his shooting got as bad as SJax's. Who is to say it will get better? WTF is his problem, esp now that he landed an overpaid contract as too-small SG?
Ignoring his his last two years is really stupid way to make your non-point.
I didn't ignore them. They are included in the only stat I quoted: his career 3G percentage. Ignoring them would be only quoting his + .440 3G% from his first two years.He also had better talent around him then, including Cassell and Ray Allen. Oh, and he's 6'6" 215. That's hardly a "too-small SG".
Bird, Magic, Gamblin Jordan blow. I wish they would go away. Time to recognize the new players.......
They should let Vince Carter select the team.
Who died and made Colangelo captain?
If they get tough with these players and start talking , the team will be so weak they won't even make the olympics.
I am sick and tired of Colangelo getting pub for nothing. What happened to Holt? Pop? Phil Jackson? Larry Brown?
The real winners of basketball.
Jordan is jaded.
Magic has HIV.
Bird is a twirp.
If the players want jack... then give them jack. They ing deserve it.
Brown had his shot, and it didn't work out.
Good news is that USA Basketball realized they need a team, practice, and have a all year coach.
The other questions is about players that were selected, I am not in apositions to say if they are good or bad, but ... at least mostly of them knows FIBA's rules which is good.
My natural candidates for World Cup Qualifaying Torunament are ...
1) CANADA (if Nash is in),
2) BRAZIL (especially if they put their NBAs = Nene, Varejćo, Barbosa, Araujo ...),
3) PUERTO RICO (with their NBAs will be a good Team),
4) USA Whatever team they send (Some people strongly disagree with me that USA will qualify with no NBAs in the roster).
The rest of the troupe is MEXICO, URUGUAY, VENEZUELA, PANAMA are an enygma.
That's the most ignorant post I have ever read....how about wanting to play for your country and be part of Olympic History. You're a big tool buddy...seriously...Magic having HIV should have nothing to do with his ability at using his expertise and persona for the Olympic process.Originally Posted by SequSpur

The Olympics are one round to qualiffy and 4 games seven
Win or Go Home, so it“s necessary players of game 7, like Horry (not him) who can score under pressure
The team don“t need shooters, need 3 or 4 7“guys
Pretty much what i have in mind.
The thing is... IF some other country comes strong, Is the US Team at risk of not qualifying at all?? I think the players will commit with the team and will qualify.
The format is as follows:
2 groups of 5 teams each. 8 teams in total will play the second round. My guess is the following standings are probable:
1. Brazil (q)
2. Canada (q)
3. Argentina (already qualified)
4. Puerto Rico (q)
------------------
5. USA
6. Venezuela
Semifinals:
(1)Brazil vs (4) PR
(2)Canada vs (3) Argentina
So USA would play Venezuela for the 5th place in this tournament AND the final spot for the WC 2006. Luckily here, no contest...
USA will qualify for WC for sure, the only doubt I have is ... how far will go in this tournament, since they are not playing at this moment.
Do not forget MEX, this guys defeated ARG (Manu, Oberto, Scolla, Chapu ...etc) twice previous to Olimpycs!
But if you agree with me in the final 4 (Brazil, Canada, Arg and PR) then US qualifies 5th. There aren't strong teams outside those 5.
Let me explain. USA can win it all without NBA players.
In fact all over the world (Argentina included ) American
players are the difference makers. Argentina Can make an
All Argentina League and beat the ass of the Americans playing
in our league but the Americans are necesary because they
are far superior to the average player, same in the rest of the
world (Even Serbia).
So USA fellows don't be worried, USA is still the Basketball
mecca, but... some countries have 20-30 players with very good level (Argentina, Spain, Serbia etc. ), even good enough
to play in the NBA like Manu or Euroleague like the rest of our team.
So the only thing they have to do is to get good players no matter which professional league are they from, and make a TEAM. With that they will be fine.

We all know US players around the world are doing well, but Teams are formed by only 12 players. This is not "The best 500 players from USA vs the best 500 players from anywhere"... we all know who will win there.
And I was estimating the final standings based on the level of Brazil, Canada and PR. There is no way we can know now how Team USA will do.
To be honest, IMO, USA could get Gold Medal or be 6th; with the info I read up to now, BRAZIL sounds like the CANDIDATE (Good base + NBAs), CANADA & PR will do Pretty good; ARG will go to test the TEAM "B".
USA is a mistery, if they started to play against FIBA's National Teams right now they will be prepared and ready to reach the TOP 4; I think they have a really good chance because (they) will use a lot of FIBA's players and have time to practice.
Oh no! I am agreeing with a Laker fan! Please shoot me.
