Ray Allen didn't say he would not play in the 2006 World Championships in Japan or the 2008 Beijing Olympics, but his comments about how Team USA czar Jerry Colangelo is assembling the team insinuated that he'll pass if extended an invitation.

Allen, who won a gold medal in the 2000 Games, hasn't given much thought to returning to international competition.

"I've tried to reserve my judgment," he said. "It's something that I would obviously love to do, play in the Olympics, but it's more than just saying yes to playing in the Olympics. There's more going into it."
