LeBron James: Curry will not affect whether he goes to the Rio Olympics or not. I am a man with a lot of talent.

Stephen Curry has decided not to participate in the Rio Olympics this summer. LeBron James said that he has not made a final decision yet, but he will not be affected by Curry's exit.

"I just heard that Curry is quitting," James said. "But my decision will never be affected by who will play, who will be invited to join, and who will not play. I haven't made it yet. I may wait until the end of the season to make a decision." James is 31 years old and he is averaging 35.6 minutes per game this season. Although James is extremely talented, time has begun to leave its mark on him, and James' recovery speed has begun to decline as he gets older. This season is the sixth consecutive year that James has entered the Finals. He has played more time than most players every season. When others begin to recover, James is often still fighting.

If he decides to play in the Olympics, James must train, travel long distances, and compete with the team. When the Olympics are over, there will not be much rest time left for him. Soon he will have to participate in the training camp for the new season. This is the main reason why he is still hesitant.

James' teammate Irving is also on the roster. In 2014, he participated in the Men's Basketball World Cup with the team and won the MVP. However, he said that he has not yet made a decision about whether to participate in the Olympics.

"No matter what, you have to make the best choice for yourself and wait until after the finals," Irving said. "I really haven't considered this issue yet, but I know that Curry has withdrawn. You have to respect his decision, it's his own decision."
