London 2012 Olympics Basketball Official Thread

The London Olympics is only around the corner, so I thought I'd keep you guys updated with this thread on Squads, Teams etc.


Group A
Argentina - Manu Ginobili, Luis Scola, Carlos Delfino, Andres Nocioni
France - Tony Parker, Boris Diaw, Joakim Noah, Nicolas Batum, Kevin Seraphin
Tunisia
USA - Eric Gordon, Anthony Davis
Two remaining qualifiers

Group B
Australia - Patty Mills, Andrew Bogut
Brazil - Anderson Verejao, Nene, Leandro Barbosa, Tiago Splitter
China - Yi Jianlian
Great Britain - Luol Deng, Ben Gordon, Byron Mullins
Spain - Pau & Marc Gasol, Ricky Rubio, Rudy Fernandez, Jose Calderon, Serge Ibaka
One remaining qualifier


These aren't the rosters but notable players in their respected countries.

Personally I'm rooting for Australia but also supporting EJ and Davis (if they get named)

Who are you supporting? or is your team still qualifying?

Portuguese basketball is really really bad, so no Olympics.
But gotta suport the portuguese speakers so, GO BRASIL!!!
I will be rooting for USA if EJ or Davis goes, if not i couldn't care less for them lol.
If Venezuela qualifies i will suport them because of Vazquez, obviously.

The qualifier is in Venezuela and starts at 2 July and ends at 8 July. 3 team get a berth at the Games.

Poor Tunisia. Whose there best player?

makram ben romdhane?

U-S-A!!!!! U-S-A!!!!! I probably won't watch any of the Olympics besides a few of the basketball games. Hoping Davis and Gordon make the team, it would be nice to see my two favorite players in the Olympics.

Tunisia have no-one lol


Wondering where Lithuania is?

I love Olympic Basketball!!! Group A is gonna be the group of death, with France and Argentina playing in it. It's gonna be greatto watch!!

Why is it to me that it seems as no other country has a chance against us? Lol seriously, who can stop, even slow down Durant, Lebron, Kobe, Paul and Dwight on the same team? Oh and hopefully fellow Hornets player Gordon & future Hornet Davis! Omg man can't!

Dwight isn't playing

Spain is scary...
