[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This reminds me of when Lolo Jones choked AGAIN and the GMA hosts asked Dawn Harper and Kellie Wells if they should have "invited" her onto the podium for the medal ceremony anyway.  Like, WTF?  It's fine to have favorites, even if they're only your favorite because the media is telling you they're the best and the stats don't back it up.  But to say that in the Olympics, the *fan favorite* should get a free ride onto the team/podium because that's what people who watch GMA/post on DCUM want to see, is truly baffling.  Do you think the Olympics is a popularity contest?

I wouldn't be surprised if CC is on a future team.  But many, many promising rookies (even very famous ones!) don't go to the Olympics right out of the gates.  Steph Curry, who is extremely popular and the player that casuals most like to compare CC's game to, will be attending his FIRST Olympics this summer - after 14 years in the pros.[/quote]

I’m betting you Curry had other opportunities and turned them down for whatever reason.
