Purdy: Varejao and Barbosa ready to represent Brazil in Rio Games

We are just five weeks away from the Olympics in Rio de Janeiro. The Golden State Warriors' two-man Brazilian delegation is particularly looking forward to the torch being lit.

And by "looking," I mean literally.Sarah Palin may be able to see Russia from her front porch. But Warriors guard Leandro Barbosa can see the main Olympic stadium from the back deck of his home, which is a lot cooler.Meanwhile, Warriors center Anderson Varejao is already feeling the heat from family and friends. They expect him and Barbosa to not only bring home a medal for the Brazilian basketball team, but also provide front row seats to the big show.
