Team USA Basketball has tapped Derrick White to replace Kawhi Leonard on the Olympic team instead of his Celtics teammate and NBA Finals MVP Jaylen Brown. Dan is trying to figure out why they didn’t ask Brown to play when he is one of the hottest players on the planet. Is it attitude, or “fit,” or sponsorship issues, or...? Dan isn’t sure what the deal is but it just feels like there’s something more going on here than what we’re being told.
Dan Patrick: “I don’t know if there’s more to the story. Feels like there...feels like there’s a little bit more to the story, I just don’t know what direction to go in on this.”
