Why not?
Since I'll be up watching the USA Basketball Showcase tonight I figured anyone else up watching Danny Granger play with Team USA could join me here to comment on the game and any other offseason topics. Also, former North Central and IU star, Eric Gordon will team up with Granger on the White team tonight.
For the Redeem Team in 2008, this game was an absolute blast. The talent level tonight won't compare but I imagine they'll show the same competitive spirit. The game will air on ESPN2 at 10:00PM. Here are the rosters:
| Blue | White |
| Chauncey Billups | Tyson Chandler |
| Rudy Gay | Stephen Curry |
| Jeff Green | Kevin Durant |
| Brook Lopez | Eric Gordon |
| Kevin Love | Danny Granger |
| O.J. Mayo | Andre Iguodala |
| JaVale McGee | Lamar Odom |
| Rajon Rondo | Derrick Rose |
| Russell Westbrook | Gerald Wallace |

Should be fun
Not how I intended to spend my Saturday night, but eh. There are worse ways I’m sure than watching these players.
Let’s go Danny!

Iguodala starting ahead of Granger on white team
Iggy one of a few players on bubble for roster with Granger.
Not too often
You see Odom play with this much hustle.

I really miss
The Granger/Durant comparisons from 08-09.

Fast and furious
Gotta love the effort in this game. Not a thing of beauty at this point but much better than summer league.
Question
This might be a stupid question, but why is Durantula the only star playing?
I understand the concern about losing your entire team
For international competition, but Team USA’s replacements are a little better than the Hoosiers’ replacements.

I know the focus is team chemistry
But “Spain has seven players who have either played or been drafted into the NBA” doesn’t strike much fear from that standard considering twelve Team USA players will have “played or been drafted into the NBA.”

when Mcgee caught the ball I could see Danny waiting for him to go up soft

Go White Sox!

White Team Has the Better Talent
It looks as if the White Team has the better talent..but I may be wrong. Should be interesting..Id say the Blue Team’s best player is Rondo..can be argued as differently not much tho.
And White Team best player…is the Future of the NBA..Kevin Durant!..if Durant and Rondo was on the same team..they’d be unstoppable.
Have a question though..how will they cut down the roster? Dont they only supposed to have a 12 or 13 men roster in World Basketball? Or am I wrong
