When it’s all said and done, it usually all comes down to the money. With Paul George injuring his right leg Friday night during a Team USA scrimmage, the topic of why NBA stars participate is once again front and center.
Mark Cuban has been one of the loudest about not wanting his players to participate in USA basketball. He feels the FIBA and the IOC are raking in the money but the NBA and its owners take all the financial risk.
Cuban wants the NBA needs to sever ties with both organizations. And then create its own World Cup.
