    19 year olds don't get burned out. It think it is much more beneficial for him to play in the Olympics than not. It would be a great "warm up" to the NBA

    It's not a fact either.

    Sorry, but 10 games (or however many they have) is not going to wear him down.

    Outside of Bosh all those guys were 2nd unit, even the 3rd unit has gold medal potential.

    Hmm this sounds strange. Sunday he injured his ankle? My brother was actually in New Orleans this weekend and saw him at night on SATURDAY hobbling around Bourbon Street with a walking boot on. He has pics and a video of him until one of his guys in his posse saw him and put his hand up to the phone and my brother stopped.

    USA will still take home gold..you would be foolish to bet otherwise.

    They barely beat Spain four years ago. A lot of people don't realize how close the gold medal game was because it was played in the middle of the night.
    I expect them to win, too. But the gap isn't as wide as people assume, and every injury makes it a little more difficult.

    Lebron James, Kobe Bryant, Kevin Durant. I like our chances.
