Recently announced, this years US squad for the 2008  Beijing  Olympics are as follows:
 *  Anthony, Carmelo                          *  Boozer, Carlos                
 *  Bosh, Chris                                    *  Bryant, Kobe
 *  Howard, Dwight                             *  James, LeBron       
      *  Kidd, Jason                          * Redd, Michael
      *  Paul, Chris                           * Wade, Dwayne
      * Prince, Tayshaun                   * Williams, Deron

       As far as starters go, no one knows for sure. A good sneak-peak of the team can be viewed on July 25, 2008, when the US men's team takes on Canada (8pm Eastern) in an exhibition game. My guess is that James (unless injury interferes), Bryant, Paul, and Howard will be among those that start. This years Olympics should be exhilarating, especially since Team USA hasn't won gold since 2000, and also because LeBron James personally gauranteed a gold medal. I guess we will find out if he can live up to that promise withing the next couple of weeks. Until then...
