Draymond Green questions why young NBA players don’t play for USA 3×3 team

Draymond Green: “When Usain Bolt was running, everybody else was fighting for a silver and bronze medal, and that is absolutely incredible. When Usain ran, we all knew, all right, the most interesting part of the race was like, is Usain going to take it serious enough to break the record, or who’s coming in second and third place? That’s what you’re looking for. That’s kind of what we’re looking for in basketball these days. There’s all this talk of, like, oh man, other countries are catching up to the USA in basketball, and it just does not quite seem that way. It actually seems the total opposite. It actually seems like it’s growing even further apart. Team USA is even better, and so that’s kind of where we are.” -via YouTube / August 7, 2024
