    I say yes, it could only help in getting a top player here.

    And he would look great in gold!

    No.

    He doesn't need to prove anything and at his age we can't afford any injuries or wear and tear.

    No, he should play for Great Britain. We need him much more!
    (Plus I'm not even sure we made the Olympics in basketball, so maybe he gets to stay home and avoid the Covid-fest.)

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Might as well--it seems like a good place for stars to network. Maybe Lillard can convince Kawhi Leonard or Bradley Beal that Portland is where they really want to be.

    He needs to stay off his feet as much as possible.

    I say yes.
    Some things in life are worth doing. Winning an Olympic Gold Medal or at least getting a chance to is one of them.

    Sure go to the Olympics just so some other super star player can recruit Dame to their team. :smiley-195517897341:smiley-195517897341:smiley-195517897341:smiley-195517897341:smiley-195517897341

    Well being that so many people are acting like the pandemic is over in the USA, I think they should move the Olympics to Vegas. That way everyone could just go maskless.

    As a parent of small children, you've convinced me. Can I go if he doesn't want to? I can be a great Christian Laettner.
