In his blog he was harsh on everyone except for Deron, Wade and Lebron.
But this is pointless, maybe even more so than the Skip Bayless article saying that the USA "NEEDS" Amare Stoudemire and that he's the missing piece
http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/st ... ortCat=nbaApparently Bosh isn't the answer because his dunks aren't as forceful. No, I'm serious, that's what the author says!
Chris Bosh threw down a big dunk against Australia -- but was it an intimidating one?[ ]
Nothing against anyone on this squad, but Stoudemire -- who elected not to participate, concerned about the health of his surgically-repaired knees -- is the only player who was available to the United States who could have taken that feeling inside of us away. His presence, his demeanor, his anger, his power, his meanness, the messages he sends when he plays … that's what is missing.That is pretty lol worthy for anyone who has watched Phoenix in the playoffs ---- Amare throwing down sometimes 10-15 freakish dunks on the Spurs, only to give all the points back on the defensive end and find a way to lose in the last 3 minutes. Yeah, exactly what they needed.
Every American big is flawed in some ways, but what is the alternative? The blogger seriously can't think Boozer deserves more burn than Bosh ..... he's undersized + sucks on D.
Anyone short of Kevin Garnett is going to have defensive issues.
