Team USA Basketball Finalizes Roster for Summer Olympics

Written By: Pierce Watson   

As it is right now, USA is the favorite to win its second straight gold medal, and its fifth in the past six Summer Olympics. The roster was finalized today after replacing Eric Gordon, Rudy Gay, and Anthony Davis due to injuries. The replacements are Blake Griffin, Andre Iguodala and James Harden. Not bad for replacements.
The final roster is as follows. Guards: Kobe Bryant, James Harden, Chris Paul, Russell Westbrook, and Deron Williams. Forwards: Carmelo Anthony, Kevin Durant, Blake Griffin, Andre Iguodala, LeBron James, and Kevin Love. The lone center is Knicks big man Tyson Chandler.
