Coach Mike Krzyzewski said who he would like to have as his starters. They were: Lebron James, Jason Kidd, Kobe Bryant, Carmelo Anthony and Dwight Howard.
The team has three point guards. Kidd, Josh Paul and Deron Williams, which probably means Kidd, the oldest player on the team, will have limited minutes in Olympic competition.
Bryant is one of six guards on the team. He is also the only player who played through the entire NBA season and playoffs. There are no Celtics on the team and he is the only Laker.

Kobe Bryant, as expected, will be on the U.S. men's OIympic basketball team. The 12-man roster was announced today.

Carmelo Anthony F Denver Nuggets / Syracuse University
Carlos Boozer F Utah Jazz / Duke University
Chris Bosh F Toronto Raptors / Georgia Tech
Kobe Bryant G Los Angeles Lakers / Lower Merion H.S. (PA)
Dwight Howard F/C Orlando Magic / Southwest Atlanta Christian Acd. (GA)
