The USA basketball committee should congratulate themselves on assembling a solid team to compete in this years Olympics. For one, they finally got Kobe to play and represent his country. His defensive presence along with Dwade will ultimately decide if this team can win the gold. I like Dwight Howard in the middle but don't love Chris Bosh. Deron Williams and Chris Paul will serve as the playmakers who set up most offensive positions. But why the fuck they decided to include Jason Kidd as the veteran presence is beyond me.
Kidd has slowed down considerably over the past year and probably won't contribute at all on the court. If they wanted his leadership, make him a coach. If they wanted a veteran leader PG for this team then they should've chosen someone who can still play at this level.
Not that I expect Kidd to play that much nor do I anticipate him effecting the outcome of a game, but there had to of been someone else willing to play who can still run.
Even Kobe Bryant is telling Kidd to get his ass off the court
