RIO DE JANEIRO — As dawn broke on the first full day of competition at the Olympic Games, the morning narrative was all about honest, athletic effort and the upholding of the event’s time-honored ideals.
And…of three members of Team USA basketball reportedly winding up in a high-end Copacabana brothel and winding up on the delightful pages of TMZ.
It was all an accident apparently, a giant misunderstanding, which surely makes it all OK even if it wasn’t to begin with. TMZ certainly seemed willing to give DeMar DeRozan, DeMarcus Cousins and DeAndre Jordan a get-out clause, whether they wanted one or not.
