Just came upon it and not sure if it’s still going on, but Becky Hammon speaks more about her playing for Team Russia.
Craig, South Dakota: Becky, What did your folks say when you said you were considering playing for the Russians in the olympics?
Becky Hammon: (12:13 PM ET ) My mom gave me a more heart and emotional response. She didn’t want her baby to get hurt. My dad gave me a more logical approach. ”If USA Basketball doesn’t want you, go where you’re wanted.” Just concern. They want the truth to come out and that I didn’t want to play for my country, just that that door wasn’t open to me.
