I meant livelihood purely in terms of how they make a living. I wasn't saying he'd be broke or would have trouble paying his bills. All I'm saying is that as a player gets older, the NBA contract becomes more important and playing in the Olympics not so much. That's just the way it goes, like it or not. I understand what you're saying, and I respect your argument, but I just don't agree with it.

Like I said, I understand where you're coming from. It's a legitimate stance. I just don't quite agree with it.
