Chris Paul Makes the Olympic Team!
By ticktock6 on June 19, 2008
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!
