Easy enough to say once you've attained the succes they have
in the NBA. Frankly, I don't hear many players in the US
saying "When I grow up I want to win the Olympic gold
for USA basketball!" In fact, to be quite blunt, non-US
basketball (euro, etc) is viewed as a fall back position
for those who don't attract college or NBA attention. Over
here we call it the minor leagues.
