On Monday, the roster for Team USA was announced to the country. After three years of interviews and try-outs Mike Krzyzewski was settled on the team that would try to redeem our faith in our national team. However, until they bring home a gold medal Team USA will still be a laughing stock. People will still assume that NBA players can’t be team players, and worst of all Coach K might not be looked at as the great coach that he is.
A big concern by most was the lack of role players on the team. Of course when you see names like Bryant, James, and Anthony you could automatically assume that this team will be built on one man scorers. However, players like Paul, Redd, Prince, and Williams will be very important to the teams success.
I haven’t anticipated an Olympic event like this since the “Dream Team” in 92. I just hope that everyone that still thinks that this team will fail, will be ready to apologize to Coach K and the entire team.
