Olympic team picks first four

Feb 14, 2003 9:12 AM EST

The Associated Press reports: On Thursday, the first four players were selected for the 2004 U.S. Olympic men's basketball team.

Ray Allen, Tim Duncan, Jason Kidd, and Tracy McGrady were those first four and USA Basketball said Kobe Bryant could be added to the team at a later date once a contractual issue is cleared up.

Bryant is "very interested'' in playing on the team, the national team organizing committee said. The committee added that he has been asked to play on the team but has yet to sign the organization's standard player contract.

"USA Basketball remains hopeful that he will be added to the roster at a future date,'' the statement said.

Before the team goes to the Olympics, they will have to play in the Americas zone qualifying tournament in San Juan, Puerto Rico, which will take place from Aug. 20-31.

If the Americans finish among the top three at the qualifier, they will earn a trip to Athens for the 2004 Olympics.
