Carmelo Anthony Reportedly Requested To Join Team USA and Was Declined

“I love Carmelo,” USA Basketball Managing Director Jerry Colangelo said. “He made a great contribution. He was a very good international player. But for where we are and what we’re doing, that conceivably could have been a distraction. I understand why the request was made. He’s trying to reestablish himself. I think that has to be done in the [NBA].”

Carmelo is 35 years old, and for Team USA, that’s way too old.
