VIDEO: Jerry Colangelo talks about USA Basketball’s preparations for the 2016 Olympic Games
HANG TIME HEADQUARTERS — The group of 30 players vying for one of the 12 spots on the U.S. Men’s Senior National team that will compete in the 2016 Olympics in Rio is filled with plenty of familiar faces.
From program stalwarts LeBron James, Carmelo Anthony, Kevin Durant, Stephen Curry, Anthony Davis — all multiple-time gold medal winners in either the Olympics of FIBA World Cup competition — and a legion of other NBA All-Stars, they will all be in the mix for one of those roster spots.
In fact, the real news is not the players who will compete for spot on the roster for Rio, but the players who will not be involved in the process.
Retiring Los Angeles Lakers superstar Kobe Bryant announced over the weekend that he would not pursue a spot on the team. Earlier this season he said he would keep open the possibility of finishing his playing career in the Olympics, a move USA Basketball managing director Jerry Colangelo endorsed.
Bryant won gold alongside James, Anthony, Durant and Davis at the Olympics in London in 2012.
Derrick Rose and Mason Plumlee, two members of the team that won gold at the 2014 FIBA World Cup in Spain, are not on the 30-player list, which was announced by USA Basketball this morning.
“It seems like I say this each time we have to narrow down a roster, but I am struck by the remarkable commitment the players in the USA Basketball National Team program continue to display and the enthusiasm they have for representing their country,” Colangelo said in a statement.
“The depth of talent that exists in the national team program is extraordinary. Repeating as gold medalists at the 2016 Olympics will not be easy, but we feel confident that we have 30 finalists who offer amazing basketball abilities and special versatility. We’re also fortunate that the roster is comprised of so many veterans of international basketball. In addition to 18 players who have won Olympic and/or World Cup gold medals, there are 16 finalists who have played between 20 and 72 games for USA Basketball. That experience is extremely valuable and something we’ve not always had available to draw upon.
“Obviously selecting the official roster of 12 players for the Olympics in 2016 will be a very, very difficult process. As has been the case with past USA Basketball teams, the goal once again is to select the very best team possible to represent the United States.”
The entire list of 30 players (and their NBA teams):
LaMarcus Aldridge (San Antonio Spurs); Carmelo Anthony (New York Knicks); Harrison Barnes (Golden State Warriors); Bradley Beal (Washington Wizards); Jimmy Butler (Chicago Bulls); Mike Conley (Memphis Grizzlies); DeMarcus Cousins (Sacramento Kings); Stephen Curry (Golden State Warriors); Anthony Davis (New Orleans Pelicans); DeMar DeRozan (Toronto Raptors); Andre Drummond (Detroit Pistons); Kevin Durant (Oklahoma City Thunder); Kenneth Faried (Denver Nuggets); Rudy Gay (Sacramento Kings); Paul George (Indiana Pacers); Draymond Green (Golden State Warriors); Blake Griffin (Los Angeles Clippers); James Harden (Houston Rockets); Gordon Hayward (Utah Jazz); Dwight Howard (Houston Rockets); Andre Iguodala (Golden State Warriors); Kyrie Irving (Cleveland Cavaliers); LeBron James (Cleveland Cavaliers); DeAndre Jordan (Los Angeles Clippers); Kawhi Leonard (San Antonio Spurs); Kevin Love (Cleveland Cavaliers); Chris Paul (Los Angeles Clippers); Klay Thompson (Golden State Warriors); John Wall (Washington Wizards); and Russell Westbrook (Oklahoma City Thunder).
The USA has great players and should win easy. it comes down to chemistry! Keep da king off the team and you will have that. He is uncoachable and its all about him. keep da king off the team!!
Gotta go with Steph Curry, Russell Westbrook and Kyrie Irving on the point, Jimmy Butler and Klay Thompson on SG, Kevin Durant, Kawhi Leonard and LeBron on the wings. Dray, Cousins, Davis and Drummond for PF/C.

Look it is my opinion that that Melo is a better player than Lebron. If a team need someone to make shots, reliably, then I prefer to have Melo taking the shot. Lebron is good running to the rim, but if there is no option and the lane is closed then Lebron is an unreliable shot taker. As such, I prefer to have Melo making any team before Lebron. If the option is Durant, then I could see him being picked instead of Melo, because there is not much difference between Durant and Melo.. To say that Lebron is the best player in the world is dis-ingenuous and parroting what is being said by many others who have no clue about basket ball..
PG – Curry/CP3
SG – Westbrook/Harden
SF – Durant/Kawhi/PG13
PF – LBJ/Boogie/Davis
C – Howard
Win everything by 30+ with ease
Best Lineup :
PG : Cp3
SG : Harden
SF : Lebron
PF : David
C : Drummond
They should go with a completely new squad to give a chance to the young guys. The european basketball is getting better and better and is right behind the NBA in competitiveness.
Melo – We don’t need him
Lebron – We don’t need his flopping and traveling queen-diva
Harden – Cannot defend to save his life
Kyrie – The most overrated point guard in the league (I’d chose Lillard over his crying diva)
Dwight Howard – Another Diva rotten apple type of player – Thanks but not thanks
PG – Westbrook – John Wall – Paul
SG – Curry – Butler

Others that should get in – Lillard – Thompson – Alridge

USA will bring only 12 player they tend to play the same style of ball every year it’s kinda easy to see how they will play

I thought Paul George was said to be def kicked out!? He is back in now!? WHAT?
Well here’s my list and explanation:
Curry, Westbrook, CP3, Irving
Lebron, Kawhi, Durantula
Davis, Griffith
Drummond, Cousins, D Jordan
I would have 3 centers because this position is where other national teams can not match up with team USA. Also, hate to say it but will need backup for injuries.
I do not think shooting guards will be necessary with this line up because of the outside shooting capabilities of the point guards and small forwards, including Davis.
The other reason for eliminating the shooting guard is this list is a very strong defensive unit.
It is tough to argue most lists and many deserving players are going to be left out.
Curry Paul
Durant James Melo
Davis Drummond Howard
Leonard Butler
Cousins and Westbrook..DONE!
Lebron James is a pro Guard. He chooses to play guard. He is not a pro Forward. He does not have that experience to be ranked as a top forward. He also is not the best guard available. Lebron is an offensive weapon like Durant. A bench warmer because Curry and Westbrook are better guards. You can not just give him Draymond’s, Leonard’s, Griffin’s, Barnes’, Love’s, position simply because Curry beats him at shooting guard!
Lineup:
PG: Westbrook or CP3
SG: Curry/ Butler/Har_en
Sf: Lebron/Kawhi/ PG13
PF: Durant/Melo
C: Davis/Drummond/ Cousins
6th man: Cousins,Thompson, Green?
PG: Curry (in-form, best 3 pt shooter)
Westbrook ( in-form, explosive play)
Paul (experience)
SG: Harden (offensive minded, core member in Team USA)
Butler (in-form, cover Harden’s defensive weakness)
SF: James (physicality, experience and leadership)
Durant (offensive brilliance)
Leonard (one of the future Team USA)
PF: Davies (young and dominant in the paint, cover center position)
Green (in-form, great athleticism, good shooting range)
C: Cousins (Not many options available)
Drummond (in-form)
Not selected, first choice replacement due to injury
Irving (just recovered from recent injury)
Thompson (3 pt ability)
Antony (great player but too many talents in his position)
Griffin (explosive play)
Jordan (free-throw issue and low scoring game)
Being a Pacers fan and all I think PG13 is better than he used to be and get a chance at getting at a starting spot with Curry, LB, Cousins, Durant if not give him the 6th man or 7th man PG is better than You all think . Believe me PG is starter material.
PG: Steph Curry Chris Paul
SG: Jimmy Butler Russell Westbrook
SF: Kevin Durant Lebron James Kawhi Leonard
PF: Carmelo Anthony Blake Griffin Draymond Green
C: Andre Drummond Anthony Davis
I would’ve put in Paul George but he’s probably hallucinating about what happened last time.
James Harden isn’t a team player. They should pick the best team with the best chemisty that is what is important.
Tuff decision but I would go wit this team.. Defensive & offense
Point Guards:

This team is not going to be an easy one to beat. I think that, although the USA team is slightly lacking a superb center due to all of them being international, we can still win it all. Anthony better scare off the internationals with that brow if his, and we should be good. Curry should just act like he’s playing a regular game. Lebron should get a quadruple double. Heck, he could go for a double triple. That would be amazing, but who has time to read much more? Basically, this is the dream team, you won’t see another team like this for a while.
You do know NBA has DeMarcus Cousins right? Hes the best Center right now

Melo plays 4 in Fiba.
Besides you are all making scorers teams.
My guess is Kawhi will play a lot, and the us will play small. This team has never had problems scoring, but keeping the game pace as they want.
I guess the ones who dont make the cut will be
Hayward
Conley
DeRozan
Barnes
Butler
Love
Drummond
Starting 5:
PG – Westbrook

9 – Jimmy B
10 – Blake
11 – George, Irving, Kawhi, Klay, Drummond, Jordan
12 – College Kid
Why not Lillard?
Lillard was on Team USA and played well, but was beat out due to the shear depth of point guards. He has since expressed no interest in returning to the program.
Here’s my starting 5 and bench. Sounds funny when you call them “bench”
Curry, Westbrook (or Kyrie)
Butler, Thompson (or DeRozan), George
James, Durant, Leonard
Davis, Griffin
Drummond, Cousins
Coach K is looking for a team play or team work. Not a one man team.

Sg. Klay and jimmy
Sf. Lebron and durant and george
Pf blake and davis
C dwight and drummond
Here’s what I think. The Small forward & Center position seems to be filled already (minus injury or should they opt out).
Slam Dunk:
PG – Curry, Paul (+1)
SG – Thompson (+1)
SF – Leonard, James, Durant
PF – Davis (+1)
C – Drummond, Cousins
Turnover:
PG – Conley
SG – Harden, Beal
SF – Iguodala, Barnes, Gay, Hayward, Anthony.
PF – Howard, Faried, Love
C – Jordan.
Jump Ball:
PG – Wall, Westbrook, Irving
SG – Butler, George, DeRozan
PF – Aldrige, Green, Griffin
In case one of James, Durant or Leonard is out, I think Melo is in.
Is it too rude to t
wauuuuuuuu, dream team men
The Centre spot is the most interesting. There are so many internationals who occupy that role on NBA teams that the USA centre role candidates look a bit thin. And with INTERNATIONAL RULES especially on defence I don’t think small ball will work that well.
Drummnd is the most likely to occupy the role his stats are good especially rebounds but he really lacks athleticism for a 22 year old.
Cousins has the athleticism and is probably a good option but I expect some of the eastern European teams Centres to beat him up in the paint and he won’t have NBA refs to protect him.
Le Marcus Aldridge hasn’t been a centre since 2007 even though he’s could probably handle it.
De Andre can’t shoot FT and he doesn’t have a good day on the score sheet if he can’t get offensive rebounds.
So looking at the NBA centres they might face in the Olympics there is Bogut, Gasol(s), Mosgov, Marjanovic, Adams, Valanciunas, Diaw, Splitter, Gobert
Stephen Curry (Golden State Warriors); Russell Westbrook (Oklahoma City Thunder); Chris Paul (Los Angeles Clippers);
Klay Thompson (Golden State Warriors); Jimmy Butler (Chicago Bulls);
Kawhi Leonard (San Antonio Spurs); LeBron James (Cleveland Cavaliers); Kevin Durant (Oklahoma City Thunder);
Anthony Davis (New Orleans Pelicans); Blake Griffin (Los Angeles Clippers);
Andre Drummond (Detroit Pistons); DeMarcus Cousins (Sacramento Kings);

If u r taking KB, that’s not the best team that u can bring, fortunately he knew he is not all star or Olympic caliber. He is a legend, but now he is 200th something player in NBA. Wise move by him though.
G: CP3, Stephen Curry, Russell Westbrook
SG: James Harden, Klay Thompson (I prefer Jimmy Butler over James Harden)
SF: Kevin Durant, Lebron James, Kawhi Leonard
PF: Anthony Davis, Blake Griffin
C: Adre Drummond, DeAndre Jordan
I prefer Jimmy Butler over James Harden. 1) the selection will be by positions. 2) The team will need to be balance on offense and defense. 3) They may select base on players that can play multiple positions and therefore may want to select more of the G/SG/SF than PF & C. 4) They may consider chemistry among the players as a team, therefore they will drop guys with bad attitude.
Wow!!! Harrison Barnes, Bradley Beal, MIKE CONLEY!!! Mike Conley, Kenneth Faried, Rudy Gay, Gordan Hayward, Anre Igoudala, Kevin Love…BEFORE Damian Lillard!!!!
NBA play favoritism OR conspiracy (Like Jordan won’t let Isiah Thomas on dream team).

Melo and Bron, historic combo. Melo still holds the Olympic record for most threes in a game, and I think most points scored as well?

George, Butler

Cousins, Drummond, Aldridge
I’m leaving LBJ, Paul, Dwight and Melo out just to give chance to the new guys. The PG spot is already solid, though Paul’s leadership is still gold, I think the young ones can handle it. I’d rather give the chance to Conley just in case. As for Dwight and Melo, sadly the spots they want to be in already have players who are better than them. If a vet is needed, it would probably be LBJ for Cousins (I’d like Drummond to play more), and just shift Davis to center.
r u kidding me??? without LBJ wat you talking mannn

No Harden, he could score flat out but no “D”.. You have other star could play way better “D” and give you 25-30 points a night… I will choose Klay over Harden anytime of the Day, hands down….
Dude Harden is the 2nd top scorer in the NBA behind Steph. His defence is just below average not terrible and I think his multiple 50, 40, 30 point games make up for that anyway. I guarantee if Harden was on the Warriors they would be so much better and the Rockets would be so much worse off if Klay was their SG.
it is best when it would be a two way player, just like drummond, green, leonard and butler and hopefully not an all offensive team will be make..
I think you’re wrong they both can score but no d, i would choose kawhi or j butler..
No one has seemed to notice Paul George is guaranteed a spot due to his injury during fiba
PG: Steph, Chris, Russ
SG: Jimmy, James,
SF: LeBron, Durant, Kawhi
PF: Anthony, Blake, Draymond
C: Demarcus
I would love to see Deandre because of his superior defense to demarcus but demarcus is more offensively gifted and Team USA will look at that more. All of the other players that don’t make it are good but some are one-dimensional like Love, Beal, Faried, Howard, and others. Some will get unlucky and should be there like Kyrie, Klay, and Melo. This is why I believe that there should be 15 roster spots. There is just so much talent within the 30 players currently, that it needs to be shown on the court. This could result in more entertainment, more views, and more money. But I can’t change anything and the 12 I have selected are the ones that should 100% be there,
I have no idea if he tried out or just didn’t make the cut, but I am so happy Rose did not make it. The Bulls are my team, but it is annoying when people just bandwagon onto a player and then vote him onto the Allstar team (stupid instagram voting).
I wish Kobe had stayed, but it will be nice to see this talent. I remember back in 2012, there was an article on Yahoo that said this 2016 team could be the next “dream team”. I doubt it will be that, but it will be a very good team hopefully.
WADE? FOH…
Exactly
Wade is not All-Star level this year. There are so many better players than him at the guard position right now. It might be sentimental for people to vote for him for the All-Star game, but he is taking the spot of someone more deserving. Kyle Lowry, John Wall, DeMar DeRozan, Isaiah Thomas, Kemba Walker, and Jimmy Butler are all playing better, yet they’ll be unlikely to be voted as starters in place of the 2 Eastern guards that are voted. That is just the Eastern Conference. The Western Conference is even way more stacked at the guard position. That is why Wade is left off.
Dwight Howard, Bradley Beal, Kevin Love, Kenneth Faried and Mike Conley will not make this cut. This will be very hard.

Too much talent. I’d go with:
Curry, Westbrook
Harden, Butler
LeBron, Durant, Kawhi
Griffin, Green, Davis
Cousins, Drummond.
You gotta include a good rotation of bigs to go against the Gasol bros and Ibaka.
Westbrook,Curry,Durant.Leonard,Drummond.George,James,Green,Harden,Cousins,Anthony and Okafor.
80% sure it will be something like this:
PG: Curry, Paul, Westbrook, Irving
SG: Harden, Thompson
SF: James, Durant, Leonard
PF: Griffin, Davis
C: Cousins
Personally I’d drop Irving and replace him with Draymond Green for more versatile defense, rebounding, and another big body. With Curry, Paul, and Westbrook on top of LeBron, Harden, and Thompson (plus Green), we certainly have enough ball handlers on the team. Not to add Durant and Leonard as proficient dribblers. I love Kyrie, Wall, and Conley, but they are the odd guards out this year.
warriors fan. no doubt
Curry, cp3, irving Wall, westbrook. Lebron, carmelo, durant. Drummond, blake. Davis, cousins
I say Demarcus Cousins, Andre Drummond, Rudy Gay, Draymond Green, Lebron, Durant, Kawhi Leonard, James Harden, Klay Thompson, Kyrie Irving, Stephen Curry, Russell Westbrook
