I heard a good point on the radio this morning on the decline of USA basketball's Olympic performances. There is this assumption that we should be rotating our players every time through, when the rest of the world is sending their best every time.
If our best players are, for example; Shaq, Garnett, Kidd, McGrady, and Bryant; then we need to go with those players as long as they are the best, even if it means they go to two or three Olympics.

There is no assumption that the players should rotate. All of these players were invited but declined the invitation, for various reasons.
