I'm a big Simmons fan but that is pretty piss poor.
Oh I agree with that. It would've been downright disruptive for such a ball dominant player to play the warm up games and then miss the main event. It's just all the committing to, then pulling out. And it's not just Ben I realise.It was dumb in the first place they were actually considering playing someone they're not able to play in the WC.
200million au contract hard to tell elt0n brand and BB to get f'edI'm a big Simmons fan but that is pretty piss poor.
Will he ever play representative Ball for us?
Kinda feel like he won't, which is pretty sad.
Olympics only
Hard to take that at face value given he was in for the WC and no out.
Gees our under 19’s girls threw away a golden opportunity in the gold medal match against the US.
Up by 3 with about 15 seconds left, on the fast break, Chris Anstey’s daughter dribbles away from the basket and picks up her dribble. Then when the defender arrives, swings her elbow and picks up an unsportsmanlike. The Yanks make one free throw, then score off a back door alley oop to force it to overtime, which we lose.
And there is zero doubt she is Anstey’s daughter, looks and runs exactly like him.
Sad to watch really. Bit of a dumb offensive foul too.
Not sure its unsportsmanlike...
All the top line Americans have pulled out of World Cup as well. The top guys are only in it for the olympics.Hard to take that at face value given he was in for the WC and no out.

What? Every sport at the Olympics is professional. That's why tennis was re-introduced.Well it's bulls**t that basketball is at the Olympics, amateur competition my arse
It's every sport. There is not one sport that blocks participants from making money. There are also sports where participants earn very little, but they are not amateur sports. Dont get your logic at all. Punish people who want to make a living in their chosen field for the sake of having a poorer sporting event every 4 years and for the Olympic movement to die out as you would not be watching the best athletes. I thought it took way to long for professional athletes to be eligible.I don't agree with tennis being in there either
Plenty of NBA players opt out of the Olympics too...didnt Simmons do exactly this for 2016?
Also, for the record, Curry, Lebron, Harden and more pulled out of Rio.
USA team was still loaded

Taekwondo isn't professional.Every single sport at the olympics is professional (except maybe the boxing I think).
This is not 1956
