New Orleans Pelicans forward Anthony Davis, who is still rehabbing his knee after a procedure that sidelined him for the final month of last season, is just one of a handful of NBA stars who won't be heading down to Rio for this summer's Olympics, but he didn't take his spot on the list of finalists for the 12-man roster for granted.
Davis, a two-time gold medalist with USA Basketball (2012 Olympics, 2014 FIBA World Cup), told USA TODAY Sports' Nancy Armour on the most recent episode of the NBA A to Z podcast that he puts his Team USA accomplishments above all else.
