I agree with almost all of this. Of course they couldn't guard Shaq, but the key (although if he could only travel he could overcome even this) and the calls kill him. I just think a well-selected team of NBA guys could overcome all that. But we pick the teams based upon what they do in the NBA. Hell T, National play is a good reason to keep JJ Redick in the league for awhile.

Why do we need to select our team exclusively from the ranks of the NBA? Most of the guys who play on the international team couldn't sniff the NBA. We could have one or two big time scorers to plug in here and there to a national team that plays together all the time. There are scores of shooters out there who could be put on a team and coached year round under FIBA rules.
