Jeremy Lin not expected to play for US in London,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]
Colangelo told the New York Times and Time magazine that Lin is unlikely to be placed on the US Olympic squad despite his breakout performance over the past three weeks,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
But an ESPN Twitter posting suggests Lin might be invited to train with the US Olympians during preparations for the side's gold medal defence at the London Olympics in July and August.
Lin,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], a 23-year-old US point guard whose parents are from Taiwan,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], would have trouble cracking the Olympic lineup ahead of reigning NBA Most Valuable Player Derrick Rose of Chicago,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Oklahoma City's Russell Westbrook,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], New Jersey's Deron Williams and Chris Paul of the Los Angeles Clippers.
That does not even include Chauncey Billups,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], who was removed from a list of 20 finalists due to an injury.
USA Basketball decided not to name a replacement given the depth already in place at the point guard position.
``It's hard to go from A to Z in one quick swoop and maintain the credibility of what you've put in place in the way of infrastructure,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],'' Colangelo told Time.
Colangelo did not rule out Lin playing in London, hedging bets in case of severe injuries to point guards during the remainder of the NBA season and playoffs.
But he told the Times that Lin is a candidate to be among younger players who are invited to train and scrimmage against the Olympic squad and take their first steps toward possible Olympic inclusion in 2016,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
Lin was a benchwarmer who had been cut by two other NBA teams before being given a chance to play when the Knicks lost two starters,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
The Knicks went on a seven game win streak upon his arrival,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
``There are players who have sat on the bench and come in and surprised people before, but this is more than a surprise -- he shocked people,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],'' said Colangelo.
Lin has concentrated on improving the Knicks rather than possible Olympic overtures. In fact,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], he only this week has landed an apartment after waiting to see if the Knicks kept him for the remainder of the season.
The Wall Street Journal reports that Lin,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], who slept on a team-mate's couch the night before his breakout effort with the Knicks,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], is renting an apartment on the 38th floor at the W Hotel in New York with a view of the Statue of Liberty.
He has filed to trademark the term ``Linsanity'' with the US Patent and Trademark Office, a move that would give the rising NBA star sole rights to use the term on products.
