Harrison Barnes crosses Olympic dream off bucket list

Posted Aug 3, 2016
There have been two big goals on Harrison Barnes’ bucket list: Win an NBA championship and play in the Olympics. Barnes won his NBA title during the 2015-16 season. This month, he’ll compete for the Team USA men’s basketball team at the Rio Games. “To be able to cross both those off at the age of 24 is impressive but we still have to go out and win gold,” Barnes said.
