    Personally I dont like Wade, but he is my MVP so far. He has looked unstoppable.

    If the USA used LeBron James as a PF who played strictly in the post, he would be unstoppable. Give it to him 15 feet from the basket and let him bulldog his way to the goal and either score or draw the foul.

    I think you may be right, its hard to figure out the position for him in a controlled offense with so many other stars, who play natural positions like Kobe at SG, Wade at PG/SG and Melo at SF.

    either way, watching international basketball reminds you that there are a lot of nba-caliber players who don't play in the NBA.

    A lot of the guys on these other teams could make an NBA team easily.

    yea but that goes both ways, with that mentality you could end up being the Toronto Raptors = soft for NBA standards.

    or the Mavs with a star who wants to be a role player = Dirk.

    so I see your point, and it's a valid one.

    You are right as well, Dirk doesnt have a killer instinct or he would be an NBA Champion right now.

    Wade has been a beast. He is the MVP of this team so far.
    LBJames is just stronger than any other player on the court.
    THis is a better team than I thought they would be.

    Why don't you like him Mastermind? He led the US team to a 92-69 trouncing over Greece, who beat them last time and in what was supposed to be one of thier 'tough' games. Bring on the Spaniards!
