    Players get hurt in the Olympics or as a result of fatigue after returning, it's not something that happens all the time but if you think Drew league is as tough as the Olympics I don't know what to say to you. Special guest appearance by the beard.

    This put Paul George away for that entire season by the way and wasn't even at the actual Olympics.

    This isn’t the Olympics, it’s just a 3 day USA basketball minicamp. Nowhere in my post did I say that the Drew League is as tough as the Olympics because we’re not talking about Harden going to the Olympics this summer...

    we’re talking about him going to Vegas for 3 days to basically do some drills and shoot around...such grueling and taxing work

    No one is stopping James from hooping. That dude is an addict. Don’t even try.

    I think our bodies are more durable then people think, sure more miles can cause more wear and tear but as a former athlete I would say I don’t need as much recovery time as people would think. It’s not like athletes need to go in a frozen tank or something and hibernate for a year. Literally give me 1-2 weeks of rest and I’m already good to go and usually don’t even need that

    Obviously when your older that’s when it can become more risky depending on your genetics, body type, past injuries, treatment and etc

    Yeah, I mean Lebron was not on the 2016 Dream Team.

    Did Melo recently say he was done?

    Maybe guys like Lebron and Paul are just going to minicamp for the purpose of helping the Team train, and help assess who to pick/who is devoted to the team, but have no plans for the Olympics.

    EG looks like he's lean, mean, and ready to rumble. All business.

    Like when they took home the bronze in 2004? Team USA needs the best available at all times.

    but i rather not have any of our players play to avoid injuries, if that roster had KOBE. It wouldve been a different outcome.

    My guess has always been 85-90% of NBA players are on drugs. Here’s proof of one party animal.
