(Boulder-CO) The circulating rumor has been that Marcus Camby was debating whether or not to participate with Team USA Basketball for the next three years. USA Basketball offered the Nuggets center, and current Defensive Player of the Year, an invitation to be on the team, but it is being reported today in The Denver Post that the Captain will do no such thing. Citing a, “serious family situation”, as the reason why he declined, Marcus Camby’s agent, Rick Kaplan, said Marcus went through, “serious deliberation,” when making this decision. On the one hand, I'm semi-disappointed that Camby will not be participating because USA Basketball could really use some defensive toughness in the middle. On the other, I'm happy that Marcus decided to decline USA Basketball’s invitation because I do not want to see the fragile backbone of this team end up like Pau Gasol; injured and not able to help the Nuggets next season.
