Team USA: Billups Out, Prince In

June 20th, 2008 · 1 Comment

Tayshaun Prince earned a spot on the USA Basketball team for the Beijing Games, a person in the NBA told The Associated Press on Thursday.

Dwyane Wade will join Prince on the team barring a last-minute change for the Miami Heat guard, according to a person familiar with the decision.

The two sources spoke on condition of anonymity because the roster will be announced Monday during a news conference in Chicago.Prince’s Pistons teammate Chauncey Billups pulled himself out of consideration for a spot on the U.S. team earlier this week. The All-Star point guard might have had a hard time making the team anyway because of available guards such as Jason Kidd, Wade, Chris Paul and Deron Williams.

    the only thing that Jason Kidd has over Chauncey Billups is his passing ability other than that Chaunce has a better shot and better decision-making…did anyone from the Olympics pay attention to the Mavs and N.O. series….Jason Kidd is done lol….but anyway Chris Paul and Deron Williams are younger and quicker than Chauncey but who has the most experience….duh??(to the Olympics)
