Couldn't Get a Ring? Join the Olympic Team!

Check out the roster for the U.S. Basketball team:

Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, Carmelo Anthony, Jason Kidd,Tayshaun Prince, Carlos Boozer, Chris Bosh, Dwight Howard, Chris Paul, Michael Redd and
Deron Williams.


Notice who's missing from this list? Wonder why?

Personally, I think it's poetic justice that the non-champion winning players (including some who thought they should have gotten the NBA championship on a silver platter) go into Olympic exile and spend the next several weeks trying to forget that they have crappy teammates. Especially since the last time Pierce was on an Olympic team, he (and Allen Iverson to a degree) were universally blamed for not winning the gold for being to (insert euphemism for "black").

Well, these guys are fairly nice and safe (excluding the legal troubles of Anthony and Bryant). They should bring home something worth bragging about...after all, they have the time now.
