    What a moron. Don't support your country if you don't want to. You already make enough money.

    The olympics are about representing your country, not about getting paid because it's a burden of your time. If he doesn't want to do it, he can find something else to do with his summers.

    countries pay stipends for olympic athletes all the time.

    You would all give him just as much shit if he decided not to play at all



    SOMEONE IS MAKING MONEY OFF OLYMPIC BASKETBALL. WHY IS IT WRONG FOR PLAYERS TO WANT THEIR CUT?

    Christ you people cant read.

    And i dont see why its wrong to say that. Obviously the Mens national basketball team for USA is the top drawing attraction of the olympics. The revenue stream cant be hogged entirely by the USA Basketball.

    Playing in the NBA is their job, not the Olympics.

    The world revolves around money so Ray Allen and Wade have a point. It'd be nice if honor and pride could pay bills but sadly no.

    What a douche. The millions he gets from the NBA is not enough to play for you country?

    If he doesn't want to play, then let someone young and hungry play. Someone that actually has a jumpshot would suffice

    If all Olympic players got payed, fine. But not just NBA players.

    I would be cool if each country gave something like a $5,000-10,000 stipend to each of their athletes. But that also brings up complications. Some poor countries may try to hold their own athletes out of the Olympics just to save a little money. Also, it is difficult to make the compensation even across countries since money has different values in different countries.
