  Count two-time Olympian and Miami Heat guard Dwyane Wade among those who believe NBA players should be paid for playing with Team USA in the Olympics.

  
  Boo this man! I'd play for free.

  You wouldn't play for free if you were in the income stratosphere as these guys are.

  I don't hate the Heat but this is pretty shitty.

  As if he doesn't have enough money as it is. There are plenty of guys out there who would do it for free.

  Truth..fucking spoiled bitches

  I find it funny sleeper said he would play for free, and nobody has picked up on the irony yet...
  
  I do agree though, fuck them.

  Unreal, with what he makes in salary plus endorsements and jersey sales. Hes probably in the top 10 highest gross paid athletes in any of the major sports.
  
  I do hate the Heat even more, see what hanging with Lepippen does to you. How many guys would be more then happy to represent their country for free getting to do something they love.
  
  F You Dwade

  I disagree with Wade but he has a point. I'm sure Nike is pulling in some pretty good money from jersey/memorabilia sales from the US basketball team that the players don't see.
  
  Edit: Apparently Ray Allen said it first.

  You are representing your country. Money shouldn't come into play when it deals with that. They are both retarded in their views of this argument. You get INVITED to play on this team. It's not a privilege, it's an honor.

  Fuck You Dwayne.

  I see his point on this: they get money for their NBA jerseys being sold, they should get the same cut for USA jerseys being sold. But paid to play? F*ck that.
