Odom says meeting with Colangelo "went well"

OC Register: Bryant met with Colangelo on Friday, as did Odom, who also hopes to be picked for the team. Odom said his meeting of about 15 minutes "went well."

"I won't know until he's done with whatever he has got to do," Odom said of his chances of making the team. "We talked about the last time I went. I told him how cool it was and how I would like to go again."

LA Times: Odom met Friday with USA basketball managing director Jerry Colangelo to discuss Olympic possibilities.

Odom is hoping to join Bryant on a 20-man roster that will report to training camp this summer and then play exhibition games in China and South Korea before the world championships in Japan. There will be another training camp next year, and further training and exhibition games in 2008 before the Beijing Olympics.

"They're taking it serious," Odom said, adding that the meeting "went well."

Odom, one of few bright spots on the 2004 Olympic team that took a bronze medal, was one of three U.S. players to score in double-figures in all three medal-round games.
