....and they will still embarass the US losing to the likes of Argentina and Puerto Rico.

If they add JJ Redick and Michael Redd, they will win it all.

Is any roster they pick going to be better than say the entire Detroit or SA team? I don't think anyone in the world could beat those "teams" because they are so fluid. Maybe SA is a little bit of a stretch this year but wouldn't it be better to have a team with some continuity?

I think there's some validity to that point. Just because you throw a bunch of superstars on a team doesn't inherently mean they are going to dominate. As Sky points out, you gotta play as a unit, and an elite NBA team might play better as a unit than an all-star squad thrown together during the off-season.

That said, King James and Kobe are a good start, as Seer mentions. I'll take Redd and Redick too. Throw in some KG, Duncan and a Dwight Howard, Dwayne Wade and Chauncy Billups and now we're talkin.

It's just too bad Kelly Leak....errrrrr....Steve Nash is a Canuck.
