NBA Finals MVP Jaylen Brown expressed confusion after Derrick White was selected over him for Team USA
NBA Finals MVP Jaylen Brown of the Boston Celtics expressed confusion and possibly disappointment after teammate Derrick White was selected over him to join Team USA for the Paris Olympics. Brown, who led the Celtics to an 18th championship with an average of 23.9 points, 5.9 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 1.2 steals during the playoffs, took to Twitter on July 10 and posted three emojis: a monocle over the eye, a face with rolling eyes, and a face with a thinking mouth. The cryptic tweet came after White was named as Leonard's replacement on Team USA following Kawhi's withdrawal due to injury.
White will provide Team USA with valuable defensive presence having earned All-Defensive second-team honors twice. He is the third Celtics player to be selected for the team, joining Jayson Tatum and Jrue Holiday. Leonard, who was dealing with chronic knee soreness and inflammation for months, had initially been named to the roster but ultimately decided it was in his best interest to focus on preparing for the upcoming NBA season instead.
Former NBA coach George Karl called on President Joe Biden to withdraw from the 2024 election, comparing his situation to Kawhi Leonard's decision not to compete in the Olympics. However, Karl clarified that this did not mean he supported former President Trump. The calls for Biden to drop out of the race have been growing due to concerns about his age and performance during debates.
LeBron James and Steph Curry revealed Team USA's Olympic uniforms on July 10, with both stars posing in the red, white, and blue threads. The Los Angeles Lakers' James will be competing in his fourth Olympics this summer, while the Golden State Warriors' Curry will make his first appearance for Team USA.

The author makes a comparison between Kawhi Leonard's decision to withdraw from the Olympics and President Biden's age and performance in debates. This is an example of a Dichotomous Depiction fallacy as it oversimplifies complex situations into black-and-white, either/or propositions. The author also makes an Appeal to Authority fallacy by stating that 'many, including members of the Democratic Party' have spoken about their concerns about Biden's age and performance. However, no specific evidence or quotes from these individuals are provided.
