The 2008 Men's Olympic Basketball team was announced on Monday, and the team looks pretty damn good. Led by NBA MVP Kobe Bryant, this team looks to make a run at the gold medal, especially since they've struggled to do so in the most recent tournaments. Here are the players and coaches of the 2008 Olympic team, followed by my analysis.
Players
*Projected starter
- Kobe Bryant (SG, Los Angeles Lakers)*
- Dwayne Wade (SG, Miami Heat)
- Carmelo Anthony (SF, PF, Denver Nuggets)*
- Carlos Boozer (PF, C, Utah Jazz)
- Deron Williams (PG, Utah Jazz)
- LeBron James (SF, PF, Cleveland Cavaliers)*
- Dwight Howard (C, Orlando Magic)*
- Chris Bosh (C, PF, Toronto Raptors)
- Michael Redd (SG, Milwaukee Bucks)
- Jason Kidd (PG, Dallas Mavericks)*
The positions aren't the primary positions of the players, but they are the projected positions for that player for the Olympics...
Coaches
- Mike Krzyzewski (Head Coach; Head Coach of Duke University)
- Jim Boeheim (Assistant Coach; Head Coach of Syracuse University)
- Mike D'Antoni (Assistant Coach; Head Coach of New York Knicks)
- Nate McMillan (Assistant Coach; Head Coach of Portland Trail Blazers)

There carzy if they start Jason Kidd. He probably shouldn't be on this team in the first place.
