Much was made this summer of all the players who didn’t join Team USA in the Spain-set FIBA World Cup. LeBron James, Kevin Durant, Chris Paul, Blake Griffin, Russell Westbrook, Kevin Love…the list of no-shows reads like a premier Rolodex of baller fame.
But thus far in the 2014-15 NBA season, the shortlist for MVP candidates is made up almost exclusively of those who did play for their country. The impression of patriotic summer balling as a springboard into the rare air of superstardom seems as true as ever today.
