Team USA Basketball Anonymous
Ok /sp/ I just read on ESPN that CP3 was not a lock for Team USA this summer and I don't see how they could not have him on the team with all that he has done this year. Is ESPN just really stupid when it comes to basketball or is Chris Paul not all that good?

Anyhow I'm posting the source since it has other players who they think may or not make the team.

inb4 European and other foreigners post shit about Argentina because TEAM USA WON FIFA.

Only reason Chris Paul isn't a lock because this is Jason Kidd's last time on the team, and since he's a big prissy primma Donna he going to try to block CP3 like Micheal Jordan blocked Isiah Thomas in 92.

1. He's short. bigger guards could become a handful to defend.
2. He's a scorer. The team has enough of those.
3. He's young. He'll get his chance again. Kidd won't.

Assuming Kidd plays, there's Deron and Chauncey. Hard to pick 3 out of these 4.

they picked their final 12 from a whole group of players they picked earlier. They picked the big group long before CP3 became a star.

It's not fair if they hold CP3's first international outing against him. It was his first international and his first pro year.

Anyway, I'm of the opinion that Kidd has lost whatever defense he had. CP3 is an okay defender, but not excellent. Hopefully Kobe and LeBron are on their A-Games there.
