Okay, I don't wanna jump into the middle of a flame war (or even worse, fan the flames), but this is from an
AP article that ran on ESPN.com:
Quote:
Nuggets forward Carmelo Anthony is pretty sure he will be watching the U.S. Olympic team on television this August.
Anthony said Wednesday he believes the USA Basketball selection committee has moved on without him.
"They've got their mind set on what they want," Anthony told the Rocky Mountain News. "Don't nothing include Carmelo. Nothing in the NBA includes me. You realize that?"

I know it's not exactly down-on-his-knees-kissing-David Stern's-pinky-ring begging, but it sure sounds like he was looking for an Olympic invite, despite the fact LeBron, Shawn Marion, and Richard Jefferson were already on the team.
