USA Olympic Team

With the 2012 Summer Olympics just around the corner, the United States basketball coaches finally announced the players that will represent our country in London. Here is a look at the roster.

Head Coach: Mike Krzyzewski

Carmelo Anthony 
Kobe Bryant
Tyson Chandler
Kevin Durant
Lebron James
James Harden
Russel Westbrook
Andre Iguodala
Kevin Love
Chris Paul
Deron Williams
Anthony Davis (replacing Blake Griffin)

Gold: Members of the 2008 Summer Olympic team that won a gold medal.


Coming into these Summer Olympics, the United States are heavy favorites to repeat as gold medalists. It will be interesting to see how these players perform under this kind of pressure as a lot of the players on this 2012 team are young and inexperienced with international play. A weakness on the team is size as Tyson Chandler is the only true center on the team. The team to watch out for is Spain because they have three 7 footers (Gasol Brothers, Serge Ibaka) that could cause problems for the United States.
