Andre Drummond & Rudy Gay make final Team USA Roster.

That's fine. But if you don't think it matters at least a little bit that Dame led his team to the second round in a loaded western conference while Kyrie just finished year three and hasn't even sniffed the playoffs, I'd say you're wrong. Obviously Portland has a better supporting cast, I'm just not convinced Portland is as good if you swap Kyrie and Lillard. I'm also not sure Kyrie is the better athlete.

Put Aldridge on Cleveland and you dont think they make the playoffs? It doesnt matter because its not the case. Your whole argument is hypothetical. The fact is Dame had a better supporting cast than kyrie has. Sure its a toss up between them as neither guy is clearly better than the other but imo if i had a choice id take kyrie over Dame.

If you are trying to convince fellow Boneyarders that AD deserved his spot, save your breath...we all agree. All the talk out of the camps was that Colangelo was going to take 1 (absolute max 2) of Drummond, Cousins and Plumlee. Drummond over Plumlee should have been the ultimate no brainer but bias always can be a factor.

I don't think it would take much to convince Coach K and Jerry C that AD deserved his spot as well, which is why I wasn't surprised.
