LeBron James isn't worried about possibly not playing on the U.S. Olympic team in 2012 because of his decision not to play at the World Championships this summer.

Jerry Colangelo, USA Basketball's top executive, told Yahoo! Sports last week: "There are no free passes to London (for 2012 Olympics). There are no special rules for anyone. If someone decides to pass without a legit issue, they do it with an understanding of the risk."

Colangelo wants a three-summer commitment from players who want to play in the Olympics.

"There's a lot that goes on with being a professional athlete other than just basketball," James said.

"I think everyone in the USA knows what type of commitment these guys have made, including myself, since 2003. I'm not trying to bash Jerry or anything like that because he's a good guy and I respect him. I don't respect (the comments) because of the commitment we've all given to the USA."
