okay TD and Iverson are both on it and you know what they give you. quality minutes and numbers.
the 2003 roster had very good shooters in Ray Allen, Vince Carter, and Mike Bibby. they USA roster also had tremendous ability to break down the zone defense by dribble penetration by Vince Carter, Tmac, and to a lesser extent RJ and Martin.
you also had the unwavering floor general who at the time back in 03 was the consensus #1 PG in the NBA Jason Kidd.
At the time, ELton Brand and Nick Collison were not all stars, but Elton Brand was already playing at a high level and Collison gives you hustle, boards, and blocks.
now look at the 2004 roster:
Stephon Marbury?
Emeka Okafor? unproven college big man wiht a bad back?
Carlos Boozer?
the current tri captains were very talented in their first year and LB may not have used them enough, but you have to understand that these three players have since grown incredibly in the two years since the 04 debacle.
Marion and Stoudemire are the solid wing players on the Suns tema.. which at the time had not began playing with steve nash yet.. but they are so dynamic that they had trouble adjusting to LB's system.
and no shooters? tsk tsk
disregard what the media and ESPN said, the 04 Olympics WAS a B-list roster.

On "Tattoo Night" at the
Pyramid, the man with the most ink in the building left an
indelible mark on the Memphis Grizzlies.
Allen Iverson scored 33 points and led a fourth-quarter surge as
the Philadelphia 76ers averted an embarrassing loss with a
95-88 victory over the winless Grizzlies.
Any fan with a tattoo coming to Wednesday's contest had a chance
to win tickets to a future game. The promotion was tied to
Iverson, the three-time NBA scoring champion whose collection of
body art grows with each new season and covers nearly all of
his slender body.
But tattoos are a symbol of toughness, and Iverson is among the
toughest players in the league. After taking a whack on the
right thumb he badly sprained less than two weeks ago, he scored
17 of Philadelphia's last 26 points.
"I was just trying to take what the defense gave me," Iverson
said. "I didn't want to be overaggressive. I just wanted to
let my teammates do what they had to do early in the game
because they (Grizzlies) were taking away some of the shots I
wanted by zoning up. My teammates held the fort, and then when
I got an opportunity, I just tried to make the best of it."
Iverson made 10-of-24 shots, including 4-of-7 3-pointers. He
added six assists and three steals and confounded the Grizzlies
with his quickness.
The 76ers never trailed over the last three quarters but played
fast and loose with the lead until Iverson took charge in the
fourth quarter, when he scored 11 points.
"Allen got it going and fortunately made some shots against
their zone and we were able to build a lead," Sixers coach Larry
Brown said.
"I thought Iverson had a rifle instead of his hand," Grizzlies
coach Hubie Brown said. "He was spectacular."
Todd MacCulloch had 15 points and 13 rebounds for the Sixers,
who had all five starters score in double figures and moved back
into a first-place tie in the Atlantic Division.
The Grizzlies fell to 0-12, the worst start since the 1997-98
Denver Nuggets lost their first dozen games en route to an 11-71
campaign. The record is 17, set by the 1988 Miami Heat and
matched by the 1999 Los Angeles Clippers.
"You don't underestimate anybody," Iverson said. "When you're
playing a team that's 0-11, you play them the same way you play
a team that's 11-0. That's what keeps you consistent."
Rookie Drew Gooden scored 21 points and Stromile Swift added 12,
a career-high 16 rebounds and a franchise-record eight blocks
for Memphis, which has lost all four games under Hubie Brown.
"We did a lot of good things, but we are not happy," Hubie Brown
said. "We are not happy with the choppiness. We couldn't get
a streak. When players were open, they didn't knock the shots
down."
Iverson was hit on his thumb by Kings guard Jason Williams, who
later left with a sprained foot. Upon his return, Iverson
missed two free throws but followed with consecutive 3-pointers
before Aaron McKie hit a jumper, giving Philadelphia a 75-63
lead entering the final period.
"Coach said, `Well, if you got hit on your thumb, maybe your
shot will start falling down,'" Iverson said. "Fortunately, it
did. I hit those two shots, and we kind of got the momentum
going into the fourth quarter."
"It's always big when you've got somebody making threes and
you're on a run," teammate Eric Snow said.
The Grizzlies pecked away and got within 77-70 on a 3-pointer by
Wesley Person with 9:23 to play, but Iverson answered with a
jumper. A layup by Earl Watson made it 81-74, but Snow drove
for a hoop and Iverson made a leaning 3-pointer that beat the
shot clock and built the lead to 86-74 with six minutes to go.
Iverson had a streaking reverse layup and fed Snow for a layup
and a 92-80 bulge with 2:56 left.
Snow scored 14 points, McKie added 12 and Keith Van Horn 10 for
the Sixers, who shot 44 percent (35-of-80). Reserve Brian
Skinner had 10 rebounds.
Pau Gasol scored 14 points for the Grizzlies, who shot under 40
percent (33-of-84). They did have 15 blocks.
The Sixers took the lead for good at 26-24 on Skinner's steal
and layup late in the first quarter. Iverson scored six points
in a 13-4 run that widened the advantage to 39-28 with 7:32 left
in the second period.
Philadelphia held a 54-46 halftime lead as Iverson scored 16
points.
