He can play for whoever he wants.  He probably obtained his citizenship so he can play for our team.

No, he was not chosen to represent the US team in this World Cup. Interestingly, since he hasn't yet suited up for the U.S. in a FIFA sanctioned game, he is still eligible to play for Ghana. The same team that just eliminated the US.

Kobe is BETTER then michael jordan, maybe not in stats but if you play michael jordan in his best season and kobe in his, Kobe would win the game.... People say kobe is a ball hog and the reason for that is his teammates cant score, michael was also a ballhog....  also kobe wasnt born with basketball skills he had to work through it lebron and jordan were. Kobe worked hard to become as good as he is.. Also if lebron has shaq right now he wouldnt be avering these numbers. Kobe had shaq when shaq was at his bestt!!!

That's Asafa Powell from JAMAICA. Only if he's healthy and the US team isn't. You see, it's two years til the games and we have a lot of young sprinters while Jamaica has only one of note...\n\nLet see how he does against Gatlin when they meet head-to-head....

Maybe because Marley came out of Jamaica while African Americans are from other areas. Do you think that's true today? . Whoever didn't catch him while he was alive will get him at some point, because Marley's music will live forever.

Because the Lakers aren't that great of a team, and it seems at times like he's more concerned about what he does than how the team does. He chased away the Lakers' core, Shaq, and appears to be delusional about the true state of the team. Anyone can score 81 points if they don't let their teammates have the ball.

Big Ben's game is not based on speed or athleticism. Often this allows a player to have a longer career. He's also not actually that big for a center, which means he isn't getting quite the wear and tear of someone like Shaq (for instance). Unless he decides he is sick of the game, gets a serious injury, or goes Spree and gets some deluded idea of his worth, I think he could have 4 or 5 more years in him.

Good try, but we know that ball hog Kobe Bryant will never win unless if he has someone else on his team that can check his hoggery.  Kwame is a nobody as far as I am concerned... Kobe can score 80 points a game but that doesn't matter if the other teams get 81+    !!!

The United States is still the king even though they lose at FIBA competitions, which use a smaller ball, and much different rules than the NBA our stars are familiar with. I would say that Argentina is the 2nd best team in the world, though

African teams always do well in the first days of the game and loose in the play offs. Because ALL if not MOST of best African players were already playing for European leagues and were not in their native home teams for the practices.

because he wants to play for the u.s. team in the future.  if he had played for ghana, he wouldn't be able to play for the u.s. in the next world cup because of fifa restrictions.

Africans have more rhythm.

Jackson is a vet with old legs. The regular season will wear him down.  When the playoffs start he'll get more minutes because he has been through the playoff wars and he can still shoot. Look for JJ in April & May

I'm with the guy up there. You have all the "young guns" so to speak in the East--but what they don't have and the West DOES--is EXPERIENCE! You are oozing with it in the West with Duncan, Parker, Bryant (yes, even him..), Garnett (even though he's only made it to round 1), Nash, Nowitzki, etc!!! I'd take age and experience over youth and "bounce" any day of the week!

Davor Suker played for Croatia, and was their greatest player of all time. In a team almost devoid of stars, Suker led them to a shocking 3rd place in France 98. He wore the number 9 jersey.

He's not good enough... yet. If he doesn't make the US team for South Africa he may never play for them.

First of all, if I was the Lakers, I would keep him just because of that move he put on Shaq in January! But he was just a rookie, and what he needs is more minutes cause even Kobe didn't play that much his rookie year, but he got better. Besides, no one is as sorry as Kwame Brown!
