What a ing loser
Jennings miffed at Team USA slight
By Marc J. Spears, Yahoo! Sports
Brandon Jennings(notes) established himself as one of the NBA’s top young guards last season, but that wasn’t enough for him to get invited to try out for the U.S. world championship team like fellow rookies Tyreke Evans(notes) and Stephen Curry(notes).
Jennings thinks he knows one of the factors why. Evans and Curry both wear Nike, Team USA’s big sponsor. Jennings wears Under Armour shoes.
“It’s not my call. That’s on them,” Jennings told Yahoo! Sports. “But if you want to get technical about it and you really want to look at it, half of the guys there are Nike guys. I’m not saying it’s a Nike thing, but Nike is kind of running a lot of things right now. To have a guy like myself on the USA team that’s flashy and really outgoing, you don’t want Under Armour to get all that [publicity].
“I’m just telling you how it is.”
Of the 12 members of Team USA’s roster, only Chauncey Billups(notes), Derrick Rose(notes) and Eric Gordon wore shoes other than Nike. Evans tried out for Team USA, but was not selected after spraining his ankle in training camp. Curry played in eight of Team USA’s nine games in the world championships.
Jennings averaged 15.5 points, 5.7 assists and 3.4 rebounds as an NBA rookie last season. He finished third behind Evans and Curry in Rookie of the Year balloting.

Love the kid, but his FG% prolly has more to do with it than anything. He gets that shot together, he'll be on the team in four years or so.
brandon jennings = overrated
waylan jennings=underrated
Hey, he played life an all star... for the first two months of last season.
he scored like 35 points in his playoff debut
Waylon? Like the country singer?
Maybe
But Jordan didnt when he didnt make his high school basketball team.
Instead, he worked harder, and the rest is history
(or maybe he whined, what do I know)
Yes, because Team USA was in desperatly need for better and more pointguards in their roster.
Westbrook only shot 41% from the field last year.
His claim doesnt sound to outlandish.
That 50+ point game went straight to his head.
Westbrook >>> Jennings
Not the point, Phil.
Waylon > Peter > Brandon
Volume shooter with a FG percentage and jacks up 3's. Nothing to see here imho
^Sounds like Billups.
Although it would have been hard for us to win without his pull up heat checks from 30 feet.
Hahaha y as he was, of course he ed. and he worked harder. They aren't mutually exclusiveMaybe

Perhaps he needs a new sponsor:
DO IT MITCH!!!
Koolaid, you want Jennings on the Lakers?
