Melo undecided about playing for Team USA at Olympics

With his surgically repaired knee in question, Knicks forward Carmelo Anthony remains undecided about representing his country at this Summer's Olympics in Rio.

"That's at the top of the sport, of any sport. I think if you have the opportunity to do it, and enjoy it, and take advantage of it, I think you should do it. (The Olympics are) the throne for sports as a whole," Anthony told The Vertical's Michael Lee. "I'm going to take a little more time to think about it. I'm not in a rush. NBA season is still going on, so I'm going to see how I feel physically. Am I ready to take on – I don't want to say burden, but – that load? If I'm ready, I'll do it. If not, my body won't lie to me."

Anthony has served on three Olympic teams throughout his career, winning back-to-back gold medals in 2008 and 2012. The nine-time All-Star was a vital part of Team USA's last Olympic run, averaging 16.3 points - good for second on the team.

Anthony isn't the only star player contemplating his return to the roster, as LeBron James has also yet to rule one way or the other. While Anthony says he won't base his decision solely on James' choice, he did admit that "it definitely would help."
