Is it possible that the Clippers could have three players on the U.S. Olympic basketball team?
Well, yes, it’s possible that Chris Paul, Blake Griffin and Chauncey Billups all could represent the United States in the Olympics in London this summer.
Paul said he has been in contact with Jerry Colangelo, director of USA Basketball, and that he hopes to be on the Olympic basketball team for the second time.
Griffin said he was told by his agent that Colangelo wanted to speak with him about being a candidate to try out for the team. Griffin said he planned to call Colangelo this week to express his interest.
Billups said his agent talked with Colangelo.
Colangelo must announce the 18 candidates for the team by Jan. 18.
