"My previous experiences with USA Basketball have been incredibly rewarding, educational and enjoyable, which made this an extremely difficult decision for me and my family. However, due to several factors -- including recent ankle and knee injuries -- I believe this is the best decision for me at this stage of my career. It's an incredible honor to represent your country and wear 'USA' on your chest, but my primary basketball-related objective this summer needs to focus on my body and getting ready for the 2016-17 NBA season."


Crazy how someone understand he has responsibilities to get well and not chase meaningless titles :spin

Wonder if this has anything to do (along with the knee) with the potential exposure to the Zika virus and whatnot.

Everyone needs to skip the Rio Olympics, Rio has some issues and not just the mosquitoes with Zika. So what a few women from all over Brazil with curves come there and parade on the beach and the brothels.

Yep.

The beach water is filled with fecal matter and that's what they're gonna be rowing in.

Plus all the other stuff that flows from the Favelas...

Horseshit. Christ, let those people have their day in the sun, have their Olympics. We did the same damn thing two years ago to Russia.

We look like jealous assholes.

I'm just kinda calling out this love affair people have with Rio. They just went there because it's an international party city.

[LkrFan]

Watch LeHype decline to play. He can't do jack without superstar help. Just like in the 2004 Olympics :lol

Curry doesn't want to go because he knows his wife will follow and get trained by a bunch of the Brazilian men, team USA, and any foreign players she runs into.

Typical foreigners who call themselves "well traveled" b/c they spent two weeks in an international city.:lol

More like she'll go with him and cock block him from getting in on all that Brazilian action.

[MultiTroll]

Why the timing of the announcement.
Why not wait til after the Finals?

lol meaningless title, that shitface Duncan betrayed this country with his shit color medal.

[Caltex2]

He's not even from this country, certainly not from the states. He's from a territory. Might as well be from Guam.

[resistanze]

Hey guys! I'm still injured!

Hard choice tbh..

Go for the purpose of banging them hot brazilian bundas or stay and avoid getting aided up with zika. :lol

Most of those Brazilan girls have been riden more than a Ferris Wheel, I wouldn't slay one unless I knew it was her first time or at least if it was obvious she hadn't had many before hand.
