Team-Dream

According to UpsideandMotor, we have a potential, yet 0% chance of happening, shot at an astounding NBA Olympic Basketball Team. I say to hell with Chris Paul oops to Amare, Kobe lock-down D, or Lebron James man vs child action... Let those guys rest it up for the upcoming season and give those, "little college stars who could" chances to shine on the worlds brightest stage. Compiling the tryouts for the team over the last few years, there's a rocky-road ahead, but a chance for the ultimate prize, another Adam Morrison mid-court collapse...

Point Guard:
Starter- Luke Ridnour
Back-up- Kirk Hinrich

We're going to try to keep this olympic squad as north-west as possible, and with Luke's Oregon Origins, and stellar performance backing-up Earl Watson and Jerryd Bayless over the next few years, i'm seeing Carlos Arroyo Puerto Rico performances on the horizon... Kirk, you had a shitty season after having defied critics for 4 years that a lanky white guy could play good d in the league along with a top of the arc Kansas 3 ball. Here's your last chance to prove that Derick Rose needeth go to Miami...

Shooting Guard:
Starter - JJ Redick
Back-up - Michael Redd

JJ, where has that once infinite shooting touch gone to? With his last game swat-fest heroics against LSU's hyper-athletes Tyrus Thomas and Tasmin Mitchell, we were reminded that maybe the NBA would never suit your nimble frame, however, Europe? Can it be? 5 on 1 Three Balls and the utter destruction of the famed Euro zone? If one of these guys can do it, it's JJ, and with a thinner Samwise Gamgee distributing the rock, anythings possible... Oh, and M-Redd can provide some decent garbage minutes, along with some Ohio St. rep.

Small Forward:
Starter - Adam Morrison
Back-Up - KDizzle

Arguably the finest small-forward on planet earth today, we'll see his first action this year since starring in the "awkward behind the Gonzaga bench portrayal of Michael Jackson Mcvey, while his alma-mater got TORCHED by a future Poot's Olympian, Stephen Curry." Keeping it in the northwest, Ammo is going to be pumped out of his metallica beaten skull after his Bobcat voided season, hitting one-footed jumpers and going high glass over JamesOn Curry wannabees. With this success will come the most highly touted olympic match-up since the Dream Team faced Russia in 92, USA vs Brazil. Why you may ask? JP mothafucking Batista. The man who was famously stripped Jordan Farmar and Cedric Bozeman in the 2006 Sweet Sixteen, which gave way to a Morrion-less Final Four. When this power-foward is defeated, Samwise Ridnour will liberate Morrison's "Lord of the Rings Ghost Army", and and all his pent up rage will spew onto mid-court once again, crying away his Indianapolis Demons, and resurrecting his career as the next Larry Bird. Kevin Durant along with scoring 30 points a game with limited minutes, can use Michael Redd to practice his fast-break baby hook spin.

Power Forward:
Starter - Nick Collison
Back-Up - No Use

Talk about a work-horse, Nick Collison, despite lacking starpower, is going to pull down Kansas esque 23 and 24 board games against these Euro pussies. Pair this beast with Brad Miller on the post, and we got a solid Highway 5 Cali-Oregon frontcourt to lay some pain. Hinrich and Collison on the same floor together again... It's proven their only kryptonite is G-Mac and Melo, so unless they form Boeheimia and throw in Andy Rautins, Donta Greene, and Eric Devendorf onto their new turf, Kirkison is looking like an Olympic Lock.

Center:
Starter- Brad Miller -
Back- Up - Greg Oden

How better to ride off into the Sactown Sunset than to win olympic gold? Once again, we got to northwest ballers on the doorstep of the baddest summer of their lives. Brad Miller's no-look passes will make Serbian young'ens Darko and Jaric thinking they saw the second coming of Vlade Divac. With "outside the box drop step slam" Oden coming off the pine along with KD dawned in McDonald's all-american gear, there will undoubtedly be some broken international hearts.

Well There it is... Poot's World's Olympic team... I feel even with the all-stars at the helm, Spain is going to be a tough draw: Rudy Fernandez, Gasol, RICKY RUBIO, Sergio Rodriguez, Marc Gasol... We'll see, it will be a nice summer escape along with the extra special Greg Oden's/Marco Bellinelli Sophomore Summer League Jam.

I leave you with the only good think to come out of the Tim Donaghy scandal thus far...



Also Poot I know you see all these, but Garnett's screens are gut bustingly funny...
