Sounds more like a selfish, bitter move to me.

Wait, did Lebron actually say any of this or is it speculation? Now people are hating him based on possibly made-up stuff?
Never mind, forget it. I wouldn't want to interrupt the Lebron angry mob.

I read some of the article then gave up once I realized it was typical old school bleacher report style, some hack just making up a tagline out of thin air and then trying to justify it with a bunch of nonsense. Anybody that came into this thread to bad mouth Lebron about this article clearly didn't read it, or they are stupid.

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.
Wasn't there some talk about capping the number of times someone could play for Team USA? 'cuz LeBron is great, but I don't blame him for wanting to take a summer off. And he's done his work for Team USA. Let some of the young guys with less wear and tear pick up his slack. We'll win a gold just fine with LeBron sitting in Akron watching the games on his big screen.

Of course, Bogut, Barbosa, and Ezeli aren't American.

Just another PR blunder for that idiot.

Pretty dumb reasoning.
Let Curry, Durant, Westbrook, Kawhi, etc handle it.
edit.... didn't see the source.

I would bet this is the real reason. He doesn't give any fricks about Kobe's status. That's a PR ruse

Why LeBron isn't going to Rio?
Zika Virus
Get ready for dozens of US athletes not to go either

I didn't know the Olympics was a retirement tour for athletes?

I'd skip the Rio Olympics because Rio ain't ready to host the Olympics.

My parents were down in there a few weeks ago. My pops said there is no way they can legitimately pull it off. He said Rio is a tremendous shite hole.
I'm sure they will put up some kind of smoke and mirrors deal to put on a show but if there is an Olympics to miss, it's this one.

Not that it is a shithole, the infrastructure is so bad and pray that crime won't be rampant.
