Withdrew......probably with some added pressure from the HEAT. That team can't win another title if Wade isn't right.....the other teams are too close.
Don't be so sure Iggy doesn't get it instead of Harden. Guys that played hard in 2010 have an advantage. Blake Griffin has a slight chance to not make it. Lamar Odom and Anthony Davis will compete with him for a spot. If Odom is in shape and his head is screwed on straight, he could get it. They wouldn't have won the World Championship in 2010 without him. But Bosh makes Odom redundant as a PF/C.
Did anyone else hear that that NBA reach out to FIBA (?) about some kind of World Cup for basketball? It would be an international tournament of national teams, so it would feature more of the 'superstar' players along side each other and therefore the Olympic team could be comprised of some under-23 or 'amateur/college' players. What do y'all think of that? Or this could be some kind of fever dream I had.
If wade would've played, it would've ended his career. If it were me, I would try not to overkill the team. I dunno about anyone else, but Iggy played excellent at the worlds.
