Chris Paul Makes the Olympic Team!
Posted by: ticktock6 in CP3 Will Eat Your Soul, Olympics 2008, Tyson is a Beast
The Times Picayune is reporting that CP is going to make the cut for the USA Olympic roster that will be announced Monday. It’s not exactly official, but the T.P., whatever other failings they may have, is usually right about stuff like this. It would have been an egregiously bad decision if they didn’t take the point guard who just had one of the best seasons in history. There shouldn’t have even been a discussion about it. Jason Kidd is practically mummified. After Billups pulled out earlier this week, enough spots were freed up so that Deron and CP could both go. But the article is also saying Tyson didn’t make the roster, despite having played last summer. Hey now. That sucks.
Congrats to Chris!

P.S. Oh, holla! My banner ad up top is now repping Hornets gear! Smart ad.

Yes! getting to watch CP will help get me through the summer without any other ball. I am glad to see him make it, although it would have been good if he had some more rest to get ready for next season but if he wants to rep the US i’m cool with that, he is the best point in the world and should be on the team. Go Hornets and USA!

I used to think it would be better if he didn’t play. Unfortunately, I’m coming to terms with the fact that I’m in serious withdrawal.

Honestly, looking at the line-up, I can’t figure why they would carry 3 point guards on a 12 man team without a 7-footer. I.e., Tyson. Let’s hope that doesn’t come back to bite them.
