    Bogut probably has like 2-3 years left in the league, doubt he'll still be around in 2020.

    Basketball is probably the 2nd most global sport behind soccer. America loses in soccer but no one in America really cares about soccer as much as football, basketball, and baseball.

    He's only 31 and even if he's not in the NBA by 2020 he'll still be a chance for the 2020 Olympics.

    Kendrick Perkins is only 31 too and Howard is 30. Bogut has had a lot of injuries and if hes still playing in 2020, hes not gonna be very effective.

    Yeah I'd say a majority of Americans only really care about soccer during the world cup. Although I live in the Portland area and the timbers (an MLS team) are pretty popular here, I don't follow them at all though.

    His role would definitely be limited but he'd be there for leadership and whatnot.

    f--- Kevin Durant, hope he blows out his knee, makes a full recovery at the end of his contract, hits free agency, and becomes a Boston Celtic.

    This is dope. Pick your own Olympic team using all the players in the Team USA pool. It rates your squad on a scale of 0-100 based on real +/-.

    Good news for everybody here as USA and Australia both got the win! Must have been a pretty good win for the Boomers, would've thought France were easily the 2nd best team in the group. Gotta watch a replay.

    Watched that live it was awesome!

    He showed signs that he could be a great nba player. Just needs to hit the jumper a bit more consistently

    He reminds me a lot of Simmons, just not as gifted athletically.

    Slovania vs. Spain was a great game to watch. Lots of NBA talent. Wasn't overly impressed with Dario Saric, but I like that he effected the game a lot more than his stats show. Those are good role players you want on your team.
