| Why shouldn't they? Do what the US soccer team does, and pay the players with Nike endorsement money. |

| He makes enough money as it is. Playing for your country should be an honor, screw Wade. | |

| D Wade & Ray Allen want to get paid for Olympics

Selfish a holes IMO. Larry, Magic and Jordan would have never asked for compensation to rep the red, white, and blue back in Barcelona.
How much more money do these jerks need? Talk about being out of touch.. I use to repect these guys. Use to, anyway. They obviously need a good briefing on what the Olympics are about. Not that that would help or anything | |

| Olympic basketball is a no win situation. Lose and they are criticized. Win and it's expected. Not to mention that most basketball players don't dream of playing in the Olympics growing up. Add in the fact that they have to go to England, and I'm not surprised he wants something in return.
