NBA star Kyrie Irving reflects on his exclusion from Team USA’s basketball roster for the upcoming Olympic Games, citing a lack of fit with the selected squad. Despite past success with USA Basketball, including gold medals in the 2014 FIBA World Cup and Rio 2016 Olympics, Irving acknowledges that he didn’t align with this year’s team composition.
Expressing his respect for the selection process and his teammates, Irving emphasizes his focus on pursuing an NBA championship and supporting his colleagues. He reminisces about previous selection formats, highlighting the camaraderie and competition that characterized the process.
While Irving won’t be competing in Paris, he wishes his fellow athletes well as they aim for success on the international stage. The US team will undergo training camp and exhibition games in Las Vegas before heading to Paris for the Olympics, commencing on July 26.
