'Oklahoma City Thunder star Kevin Durant has pulled out of Team USA and will not compete in the 2014 FIBA World Cup in Spain, USA Basketball announced on Thursday.
"Kevin reached out to Coach K and myself this afternoon and expressed that he is just physically and mentally drained from the NBA season and his attention to his many responsibilities," USA Basketball chairman Jerry Colangelo said in a statement. "He tried to give it a go at our recent Las Vegas training camp but felt coming out of camp that he was not prepared to fulfill the commitment he made to the team. Coach K and I fully support Kevin. His well being is the most important thing to us and we support him taking the time to get ready for next season. He's been part of the National Team program for eight years and a big part of the success we have achieved, and we look forward to him being part of our success in the future as well."'

It's the US. We could win without trying while playing only bench players from the NBA.
