last year shaq > yao

but this year, definitely, definitely yao > shaq

yao was putting up better numbers than any big man after he recovered from his initial foot injury, like 28/12 or something

usa still thinks they have a dream team but only 2 or 3 big names on the roster.
i think it would be pretty nice to see if the usa sends the nba champion to such events.
cause the nba champion team may also have only 1-2 star players but they are really used to play together and everybody has his role to play!
i love u

China sucks.
And I seriously doubt the accuracy of that medals table. WTF have the players from the soviet union been? Seriously... wtf? And furthermore you cannot even consider FIBA teams 75% of the potency of top level NBA basketball.

You cant send the NBA champions because not all of them are american. If the Spurs were to win how would Manu play for Team USA?

Shaq didn't do shit in the playoffs. He got his ass shut down throughout most of it. Wade carried.

They could have sent the Pistons in '04.

no. there aren't only 2 or 3 big names... let's see carmelo, elton, lebron, dwayne, gilbert... of course there are a lot of big names that aren't playing but thats besides the point.

Wade did, but it's not like Shaq did nothing. He didn't produce numbers against Dallas, but he did in other rounds. Dallas made sure they did not do what Detroit did against him and would always double to triple team him. They ran the majority of their offense through Shaq, and if the people he set up for open shots actually hit most of them he would of led the team in assists. Shaq may have lost his ability to dominate through double/triple teams, but he will still do it 1 on 1, so most teams don't guard him that way. Without the Shaq effect Miami might not have gotten past the Bulls.

You can't send the NBA champions because it'd be a disadvantage for the next season. Other teams would be able to rest and train in the offseason, while the champions would be busy preparing for the world championships. Not to mention that just because a team is built and has trained to win in the NBA, doesn't necessarily it's ideal for competing in the international arena as the game is quite different.

carmelo, elton and gilbert may sound good and everything but they are not big names in the nba.
