He'll probably be in the stands watching women's volleyball again

 

[esaw612]

He should follow Joerger to Sacramento. Yep.

 

[junglejim]

Yeah, but if you put all of the crazies on a team doesn't that even out?

This is going to be funny.

Anderson bout to get a bag.

 

[shoeking2102]

No doubt in my mind Kobe would have been on Team USA if he didn't pull out of consideration.

So is KD weak, a b*tch, and all those other names that yall called LeBron for thinking about going to SA?

Take it from someone that lived in Miami for 8-9 years (from Aventura to Brickell) and now living in LA.... LA>>>MIA

I will say that Miami is a city that takes time to really appreciate its allure & culture. I remember first going to South Beach and thought I was being trolled, did not see what was so special. It took me over a year to really appreciate what the city had to offer (also a bit of a culture shock coming from Seattle) but after that, I fell in love with the city & beach lifestyle.

But still, LA>Miami

I thought I just did a hell of a lot of explaining for it to go completely unnoticed.  Thank you!

Any decent young wing player that I could think of would be a better add than Barnes. This man literally just got done ruining the NBA Finals for his team and he gets an Olympic invite right after? Who is this guy's agent?

I will never, ever, ever forget the bricks that Barnes put up in the Finals. He could drop 50 for two weeks straight next season and I will still think he's a bum.

Khris Middleton is a better player and should of been invited instead of dude. Downfall of playing in Mil and not Gs

Khris Middleton isn't even in the player pool. You do know there is a player pool right?

side note

i was just down in Rio and theyre building a state of the art volleyball stadium right on Copacabana beach

that thing is so behind schedule, its not even funny

i saw a rendtion of it, nowhere near close to it....the actual thing was looking like high school bleachers when i saw it 

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

He did well (at least for my pockets) when they finally gave him the keys in Memphis after half the team died.

I still think he can be a good back up PG in this league but he has to be a PG, he's trash off the ball.

Lance did well anytime doc put him in tbh

The whole Rio Olympics seems like a disaster waiting to happen.

I don't think you do. Or else you'd notice MCW is in the player pool...so your theory of some sort of city bias doesn't actually exist.

I've never understood the point of having the Olympics at a place that doesn't have the infrastructure already or mostly in place to support the games.  These places that build these massive coliseums to be used for 3 months then sit unused for the next decade baffle me.

bags of money showing up at a important voters cribs is why we see this.

Ok you win lol bother somebody else

I wont disagree with that one bit.  I've always wondered what the poorer countries who hosted the Olympics though of this.  Like hey, we could spend some money on **** like food, but **** it, we are going to build a bunch of buildings and hotels that will get little use in the future.

I've always said that summer and winter should have four locations each that just rotate. Can absolutely ruin these towns and cities

No. And after he puts his bricks on display internationally he won't even be able to play foreign ball once he is written out of the league in 4 years. Son of a *****.

Bruh is tired of it.

Myrie gettin' those summer booties before hittin' rio.
