Forget for a moment that Lebron James isn't playing in the Olympics, and that Stephen Curry and James Harden decided they would prefer to spend their respective summers embarrassing small children at basketball camps instead of embarrassing large men in Rio, that sundae of super bacteria, death mosquitos, human rights disasters and lots and lots of poop (actually, maybe don't forget those things.Just put them aside for a minute).Forget that Russell Westbrook and Chris Paul and Blake Griffin and Bradley Beal – Bradley Beal – all cordially declined Jerry Colangelo's invitation.
