2004 Olympic Roster
PG- J. Kidd, M. Bibby
G- K. Bryant (questionable), R. Alley, A. Iverson
SF- T. McGrady, K. Garnett (questionable)
F- T. Duncan, K. Malone (questionable)
C- S. O'neal (questionable), J. O'neal

K. Malone will probably not go because of health issues, Bryant because of legal issues, S. O'neal and K. Garnett are still thinking because they rather just be sitting at home doing nothing. If Garnett gets M.V.P. and he doesn't go, I will be very disappointed. The lack of motivation for NBA players to go to the Olympic has been very disappointed over the years, especially when the competition overseas are so much better now. During the 2002, USA took 6th, how sad. C. Webber and Z. Randolph were not invited because of legal problems in the last few months. B. Wallace and B. Miller are the main candidates to replace S. O'neal and K. Garnett if they decide not to go. Other players that were not considered are B. Davis and R. Artist which can add range and defense.
