What's wrong with them just not wanting to play?  Why can't they take their
summer vacation like Joe Average does and go away doing family things?>>Cecil

Depends on whether they feel that professional basketball has given them
something, and they'd like to give back.  They don't HAVE to play, but it's
truly a world-class event, and it pits the best against us.  National pride?
Curiosity?  Desire to mingle with the other great players?  It's a call to
action, and I support having the best ones there.  Again, it's most likely a
once-in-a-lifetime opp'y for each of them.  What's one month of their lives?
