All Olympic Team (All Tournament, All Breakout, All Disappointment... etc)

[1Dream Basketball]

Kobe

I think I'd take Kobe on any team!!!

[Beva]

All Disappointment:
Forward: Sandro Nicevic

To me, Sandro Nicevic played as expected... I mean, what do you expect from a center who's main weapon is a Jump Shot? Nothing...

[rikhardur]

All Disappointment:
Centre: Joaquim Gomes
Forward: Yi Jianlian
Forward: Andrei Kirilenko
Guard: Juan Carlos Navarro
Guard: Liu Wei

I wouldn't put Kirilenko as a disappointment in the tournament, he had his usual all-around game helping to score, rebound, assist, make steals and block shots. Even if I feel unconfortable about it, I'd replace him with Nowitzki, his performances were just below what he can do and what he did in previous international tournaments.

[mvblair]

If you had followed his "progress" and games during the season, you wouldn't have. He played as expected.

You might be right, but a lot of people (like me) keep hoping and hoping and hoping that Sofo improves. We think about 5 or 6 years ago when the press was calling him the Second Coming of Bill Russel, and now...well, you know.

He didn't play at least last two games of the tourney

So he was injured, right?

[damelo]

Cipriano was definetely disappointing. I assume that he must have been injured, because he only played a total of 53 minutes in 5 games. He played 32 minutes against Germany in his first game. Perhaps he was injured then. But you're right, Cap'n. He normally should be one of the top players in any tournament.

[KWSN-Men]

I should have placed him on my list.

Kobe was all-disappointment in the group stages but played better in the knockout rounds. Here is the correct all-disappointment team

Calderon
Ukic
Gomes
Dirk
Yi

Honorable mention to Oberto, who was non-existent in the big games against Greece and the US.

All-Breakout:

Bourousis
Wade (hey, coming off some major injuries...)
Rudy!
Ricky!
Millsy!

[robbe]

Are you kidding me>?

Felip reyes betterthan scola?
IF spain had scola they would have won gold.

Yao ming is not even mentioned? ---

Wow, again someone is quick with such a big word. What is wrong with you people? He made an all-tournament-selection. Or is it the good old clichees?

Everything's subjective. I like that team, Reyes was excellent, arguably the best Spanish player if you take all the games together. Scola was excellent too. Bosh was extremely effective. I wouldn't haven chosen Bouroussis, but he played well.

He [Kobe] wasn't brought in for scoring, [...]

Someone should have told him that.

[Czarkazem13]

All Disappointment:
Guard: Kobe Bryant (he could have done more ... they say he's the best player in the world, fair enough ... but you'd expect him to be the team's MVP not D-Wade..)

Overall, I like your list (too tired to make my own), however I have to disagree with you on Kobe. I thought he did a good job (and trust me, I'm not a fan). He wasn't brought in for scoring, he was brought in for D, which he did a good job of. He was also very clutch in the championship game.

Well, to each their own...
