Kobe Bryant is one of 17 players expected to attend the U.S. national team minicamp this weekend in Las Vegas. USA Basketball will attempt to qualify for the 2008 Olympics in Beijing. Surprisingly this will be the first time that Kobe Bryant will participate in the USA Basketball program. The 17 players expected to attend will be trimmed to a 12-man roster for qualifying. There are 32 players in the USA Basketball program and 15 players are unavailable to attend minicamp. Dwayne Wade, Elton Brand, Shawn Marion, and Greg Oden are notables that are out due to injury. The 17 players expected to attend are Kobe Bryant• LeBron James• Carmelo Anthony• Dwight Howard• Chris Bosh• Shane Battier• Kirk Hinrich• Chauncey Billups• Amare Stoudemire• Michael Redd• Kevin Durant• Jason Kidd• Mike Miller• Tyson Chandler• Tayshaun Prince• J.J. Redick• and Deron Williams. I believe this team can dominate easily and win gold in Beijing with Wade and others coming back. Go USA!
