Jamaal Franklin was born July 21 1991 according to spn.com. So he will be 25 by the time the Rio games come around. Nice try though.
C'mon Man!

Lets just be real. Nobody is going to put an age limit rule on the Olympics. Thats just stupid and selfish.

The NBA will not be backing the Olympics in the future. They are looking to have their own World Cup. 2016 is more likely to be college players.

Jamaal is the most exciting player to watch in all of College basketball. He'll be one of the most exciting to watch in the NBA on Day 1. He's proven to be one of the most underrated talents in the country. I can't remember the last time a player was this good and so underrated at the same time.
