LeBron's Reverence for Kobe May See Him Honor Bryant and Skip Rio Olympics

quote:

That's why Bryant not pursuing a spot on the U.S. Olympic basketball team this summer is a very real reason James might also not join the team, according to NBA sources. James is that disappointed the Rio Olympics will not serve as the final, ultimate celebration of Bryant's career—and more so that James won't have the priceless honor of being Bryant's co-star teammate when it ends.


Personally, I couldn't agree more with LeBron's decision. One Legend respecting another.

I never thought he was going to play on this Olympic team anyway. I've always thought guys like CP3, Lebron, possibly Melo would skip this time around. They've all done multiple Olympic teams/World Championship Teams, and in the case of some of those guys, have played deep into the playoffs a lot.

They have to think about preserving themselves for the tail ends of careers.

Pass the baton on to new players. Team USA will be fine.

Westbrook/Curry/Durant/Davis/Cousins

With guys like Harden, Klay, Draymond Green, Kawhi, Paul George (if he wants to play), Kyrie starting or coming off the bench for matchup purposes is legit as frick.

USA still wins gold with the top 20 players in the NBA sitting at home.

what?

That makes zero sense.

If true, just another reason not to like Lebron. If you don't want play say you don't want to play. Don't make up a BS excuse.

Just leave him off then, they don't need him to win gold. If that's more important than representing your country then stay home
