THE NBA is proposing to withdraw its top players from Olympic basketball after the London Games and instead model the competition on soccer's under-23 tournament.
NBA deputy commissioner Adam Silver said the plan would be discussed with world basketball authorities. "We are taking a very close look at whether it makes sense from an NBA standpoint and the global standpoint for the top players to be playing at that level on a year-round basis, summer after summer," he said.
NBA commissioner David Stern said he was of the view that Olympic basketball should be about developing a new generation of players.
