Tokyo Summer Olympics officially postponed until 2021

Won't LeBron be on the Space Jam 2 promotion tour next year around the time the Olympics would start? LeBron has already participated in 3 Olympics has 2 gold medals he's good.

Let y’all decide it, he’ll still be playing basketball so he wouldn’t be able to promote the movie

Lolo Jones actually pointed that out on Get Up. You can't sufficiently drug test.

What does this mean?
I genuinely have no understanding of this concept, lol.

It's especially important to start testing soon because with the games being in July, you can catch athletes that are currently on a doping cycle before they get it out of their system. If you can't test, it would be a free for all.

I would think so along with the other players in the film if that’s what they decide to do.

Players like Paul and Davis are good since they already have one gold medal, but this is Lillard’s first and really only chance at making the Olympic team to miss it to promote the movie.

Will this decision have any effect on players like Lebron and Steph on whether they decide to partake in the Olympics next year?

It’s the only thing other than a Finals MVP that’s missing from Steph’s basketball resume and an extra gold medal is not really going to change Lebron’s legacy.

After having to stay home with their families for months this year, I have a feeling a lot of top tier guys will be signing up

A lot of them probably regret sitting out and not playing at the FIBA World Cup because those roster spots are going to run out quick

so why would the games being in 2021 cause issues with testing, according to these posts below?

Already on those 2021 Steroids cycle

Top guys aren't just showing up and getting roster spots if you believe Jerry Colangelo.



I say good. As long as Beal and Tatum are on the team I'm happy.

That's a wise decision to postpone, imagine sending your top athletes to the games to come back sick, and then have them come into contact with others and continue the spread. smh if they would have continued it would bring up serious questions of the committee.

You can’t have 2020 Olympics in 2021.

The Olympics is a tradition that’s always on the even # years.

just go head cancel it and come back in 2024

AD was one of those people who withdrew from Team USA. He could show up in Tokyo mid-game and I'd want him on the floor.

Plus he's a Nike athlete, as is Team USA. They're not going to miss out on an opportunity to have him out there.
