Wade is back!


"DWade bringin the Miami Heat, like Weezy breaks down a Manny beat..."

That guy... the one who disappeared from Championship status for 2 years is finally back. If you guys have been watching Team USA, you'd easily agree with me. He looks like he's back to his original athleticism and he's improved his shot.

For those of you that play fantasy basketball, you better take a good look at him.

Unfortunately, I have some doubts about Team USA Basketball. Please see below for my reasons.

1. Lack of a center. Dwight Howard is not a real center that is efficient with helping out on defense. Someone please tell me how many blocks he's averaging so far. How come the roster only has one center? Twilight zone... dun dun dun.

2. Lack of international style point guard. Deron and Chris Paul are slow down type players who can be argued scoring points. Paul can't really shoot the 3. J Kidd is old and overrated, but a true point. I seen the opponents pack and sag when Kidd is in the game. You tell me... where's the ball movement?

3. Inability to guard against the 3. You want a coach that can stop international ball? You better bring in some Poppovich help. Not some D'antoni anti-defense. The only team that plays great pick and roll defense is Spurs... I don't even know if anyone in the NBA knows it.

4. Kobe is a defensive stopper? Who the heck tells the most talented offensive player in the world to focus on defense? Idiots.

5. FIBA Officials aren't NCAA Officials. Sorry Coach K, you won't get the calls that you usually get.

6. Team skills are not there yet. These other international teams have been playing for at least 3 years together. They even grew up playing together. It's not always about athleticism!

Good luck! I hope the US wins the gold but to me, they're not the favorites.
