Sad to hear Blake Griffin get injured before he gets to represent his country in the Olympics. But if I were Clippers management I would make sure that he never tries to play any more off-season basketball unless it’s Clippers related. With his recent string of career injuries, you wouldn’t want a re-signed star to shorten his career more and hurt the future of the franchise.
Not that anyone is surprised, the U.S. Olympic Basketball team beats the Dominican Republic led by the hot hand of Kevin Durant with 24 points and 10 rebounds. Of course as they get closer to the Olympics in London, the competition will get a lot more fierce. I think everyone is confident that Kobe Bryant, Lebron James, Kevin Durant, and the rest of the U.S. team will learn to gel but time is not on their side.
I think it’s great when any pro player wants to represent their country in the Olympics but this kid should hold out and wait for the next one. You’re young Anthony David and you’ll have plenty of chances to represent the U.S. Take care of your business in New Orleans.
