[QUOTE="UcMiami, post: 4368755, member: 199"]
In 2006, USA had 
Swoopes who had played in 5 competitions 2 WC and 3 Olympic with 4 gold and a bronze (1994 WC)
Smith 4 golds
Milton-Jones 3 golds
Bird and Catchings each had 2 gold
DT and Thompson each with 1 gold

Total players with experience 7, total of 18 medals.

Dillon77 - not buying Olympic 3X3 as equivalent to NT experience - different game played in a different competitive format on a different court and a different ball with actual in game coaching - I think the backboard rim and net are the same but that is it.

Current pool has eight players with NT experience and 17 medals (all gold, duh.)
Stewart and McCoughtry each have 4
Wilson, Loyd, and EDD have 2 each
Plum, Atkins, and Gray each have 1

If McCoughtry doesn't make the team (as a few suspect) that would remove a lot of experience. She has been in the pool since her first Olympics in 2012. I'll mention again Charles with the team since 2010 with 6 medals is an interesting drop, especially with Fowles and Griner out.
