All-NBA teams short on college stars

You can't argue with the volume of players Duke, UNC and the rest of the ACC have pumped into the NBA but the All-NBA teams suggest you can with the quality.

Of the 15 players on the three All-NBA teams, one came from the ACC
(Wake Forest's Tim Duncan, a third-teamer this year).

Wade speaks up for Tim Duncan

BEIJING — San Antonio Spur star Tim Duncan made no secret his disgust for international officiating following the 2004 Athens Olympics when he played for the bronze-medal winning USA team.

Duncan spent most U.S. games on the bench in foul trouble and thoroughly frustrated. Dwyane Wade, LeBron James, Carmelo Anthony and Carlos Boozer were teammates of Duncan's on that team. The bad taste lingered and pushed them to make the commitment to the 2008 team.

But Wade understands why Duncan didn't want anymore to do with FIBA and international ball.
