Team USA

In NBA.com, there is a article speaking about the Olympics ( not sure if I spelled it right). I noticed that Team USA has 19 players on there roster. Can someone explain that to me. I thought International basketball can only have 12 total players or something like that.

there will be cuts made when it's time to really get busy

expect to see the same team as last summer...with a little tweaks maybe

J-Kidd
Kobe
LeBron
Melo
Dwight Howard

2nd unit

Chauncey B-B-B-Billups
Michael Redd
Mike Miller
Amare
Tyson Chandler

and I am forgetting who else was on there, I really rather not search for it...

but D-Wade was crying to get back on the team, so he will be there. CP3 Should be there as well.....

oh and also Deron Williams was apart of that as well.

say no to Billups and keep D Will and add CP3

I want this 12

Kidd
Kobe
Melo
Bron
Howard

Chris Paul
Deron Williams
Michael Redd
TayShaun Prince
Amare

Chandler
Joe Johnson

^^ it might be crazy and not possile, but id love bynum to replace chandler on the team. i didnt think chandler fared too well in usa team. Bynum would at least give some more O in the inside where the team doesnt have much of.
