Summary

So Kevin Durant and Team USA lose to Nigeria in an exhibition game leading up to the Olympic Games Tokyo....My take is who cares? The game meant nothing! Nigeria has some good players, but does anyone really think Team USA would lose to Nigeria if it was the Olympics? The NBA has many players participating in the upcoming Olympics. Has anyone asked Lebron James for his blessing? I mean Lebron said he warned the NBA about starting the season too soon after the NBA Finals last year and that it's the reason for the rash of injuries in the NBA Playoffs. If that's true why are NBA players participating in the upcoming Olympics? Kind of hypocritical isn't it? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
