Walter Herrmann has decided against playing in the Olympics: "He feels the need to be with his family and loved ones rather than playing in the national team," [Argentina's coach Sergio] Hernandez revealed to Ole Newspaper. "He told me that basketball is only a job for him, but he explained that the national can’t be considered a job, that it should be a breather, joy and pride but he doesn´t feel this way anymore." Could it be that wasting away at the end of NBA benches has killed his love of the game? If so, that's awfully sad since it's obvious he can play. (via TrueHoop)
