| Rajon Rondo. |
As expected, egos got in the way anew for Team USA as Boston Celtics guard Rajon Rondo withdrew
from the team with only few days left before the start of the FIBA World Championships in Turkey,
according to ESPN.com. Coach Mike Krzyzewski’s decision not to play Rondo in
the exhibition game against Spain
in Madrid was
said to be the reason behind the withdrawal. With an abundance of backcourt
men, Krzyzewki said it’s not about talents but what the team needs as the thing
behind his game decisions. With this latest brouhaha, the Americans campaign
looks doomed even before their first tip-off outing in Istanbul gets underway. This only means that
the players are not in the same page after all. That’s the price USA Basketball
has to pay for tapping these spoiled brats from the NBA.
“I think I'm on the bubble.
Just looking at the obvious -- I got a DNP last game. That pretty much speaks
for itself. It's what's best for the country. It's part of it. We knew coming
in it was still tryouts until we make the team that goes to Turkey.”
