Ton basketball last summer you’re having the great year this year then you’re going through what you’re going through with a leg or what you went through with a leg does all that make you rethink next summer this coming summer or are you still if they call are you still

Uh obviously we’ve seen LeBron be face the league now for virtually a generation 20th also him this year he’s obviously nearing the end at least eventually of his career as you look forward who do you see as sort of eventually taking that Manon as being the face of leag was that something you

B on for yourself um I don’t really get into that I mean that’s what you guys decide as media members I think uh we got a lot of different guys that it could be you I think the league is in great hands it’s most Talent that’s ever

Been in this league so lot of different guys he can be uh but you know we’ll see I think being in the face of the league you know winning has to come with that so uh you know whatever whatever young guy you know takes that charge and is winning moving forward that’s probably

Who it’ll be so um but yeah that’s not it’s not for us tode this side back left L ask NBA Australia I’m just piggy backing off at the Olympic question what are you most excited for about the Olympics and then what does it mean to you to represent your country well I’m

Not on the team yet um but if I am on the team it would mean the world to me um obviously had a lot of fun with Team USA last year and we didn’t get the result we wanted so to be a part of the

Skills contest I have no idea what that really entails so um you know I’m looking forward to finding that out uh but I do think what we have over people’s chemistry cuz we’re all together all the time and then Three-Point Contest uh just just don’t choke last year I had a legendary first
