Dwight Howard + Chris Bosh = US Olympic Frontcourt?
Dwight Howard thinks a frontcourt of him at power forward and Bosh at centre (got it a little twisted, D-Ho, but anyways) would be crazy delicious.
Quote:
"Both of us can play at the same time," the Orlando Magic man-child said yesterday when asked about the prospect of playing with Bosh on the 2008 United States Olympic team.
"(Bosh) can play centre and I can play power forward."
... "I would do it because it's for my country," said the easy-going Howard, who turned 20 on Dec. 8. "We need to get (U.S. basketball, which has struggled recently) back up there. It would be awesome to have players like Chris Bosh play."
... "We have a good rivalry now," said Bosh, 21, who trails Howard in the rebounding department but is a better scorer. "Every time we play each other, it's always been a good game and a good battle. I'm always looking forward to it."

Re: Dwight Howard + Chris Bosh = US Olympic Frontcourt?
Yeah, Dwight would play center hopefully, but he's got the right idea about both of them playing at once. I think Bosh has a good enough J to make the other teams think twice about playing zone, and then he and Howard can go to work down low. I'm really pumped about the '08 Games; I hope the US team can restore their good rep.

I'd rather see Canada have all of its players show up and win it.

Re: Dwight Howard + Chris Bosh = US Olympic Frontcourt?
Doesn't MoPete have Canadian citizenship by now? he's been here for more then 3 years. He would be eligible to play for Canada.
If we actually had all our players, we would have no problems qualifying.
5. Magloire
4. Juan Mendez?
3. Rowan Barret
2. Denham Brown
1. Steve Nash
looks solid to me, too bad our bench sucks..

Yes he is eligible to apply for a test, although he would probably have to do some studying  he would have dual citizenship, and there's nothing wrong with that at all.

Re: Dwight Howard + Chris Bosh = US Olympic Frontcourt?
Isn't Dave Thomas (ex-Michigan State) a Canadian? He's a great player. Would love to see him in the Olympics.

That team may qualify in a week year, but Canada would need to beat some waaaay better south americans team. Besides that lineup would get killed in the Olympics.

Re: Dwight Howard + Chris Bosh = US Olympic Frontcourt?
^ well if you want to go there, I will take it one step further...
Bosh
Dwight
Lebron
Wade
AI/Kidd????
but, in regards to the frontcourt pairing of Bosh/Howard. I don't know if Team USA wants to be that young and experienced up front. But then again by 2008, Bosh and Howard would be veterans, so ya never know.
