Kevin Love, Andre Iguodala, James Harden, Tyson Chandler, Blake Griffin, Russell Westbrook, Lebron James, Kobe Bryant, Kevin Durant, Carmelo Anthony, Deron Williams and Chris Paul will represent the United States Men's Basketball team in London, during the 2012 Summer Olympics. Dre, James, and Kevin were the last three selections, they beat out Rudy Gay, Anthony Davis and Eric Gordon. Gordon was the lone non Nike athlete in the USA Training Camp in Las Vegas, Eric wears Adidas. 2008 Olympic players : Wade, Bosh aren't available due to injury, ditto for Adidas atheletes Howard and Rose. Iguodala made his first All Star Game this past season in Philadelphia. Dre help lead the 76ers out the first round for the first time since 2003 and took the Celtics to a 7th game in round two. Now AI9 becomes the first Sixers Olympic representative in 20 years, when Charles Barkley was on the Dream Team. Barkley was traded to Phoenix shortly after, the irony is Dre for the past 2-3 seasons has been the subject of trade rumors in Philadelphia as well. The talent evaluators of USA Basketball took notice of his 2010 World Championship of Basketball performance and what he does for his team in Philadelphia. He's an excellent on ball defender and unselfish offensive player.Sunday, July 8, 2012
