WATCH: Alex Rodriguez joins latest Olympic trend with comedic take on missing 2024 basketball team, sets sights on 2028 selection

After entertaining the fans in Major League Baseball for 22 long years, Alex Rodriguez now comically seeks a shot in basketball. A-Rod is currently in Paris with his family and friends, embracing the 2024 Summer Olympics event spirit in person.

On Tuesday, Rodriguez posted a video on Instagram, humorously announcing his absence from the USA basketball team for the Paris Olympics. In the feature video, the Minnesota Timberwolves co-owner demonstrated his shooting skills by taking 3-pointers, which unfortunately all missed the hoop.

“Sad to announce, Unfortunately, I was not selected for the 2024 Olympic basketball team… 💔,” his post read.

“LA 2028?!?! 🇺🇸 #olympics,” A-Rod captioned on Instagram.

The 2028 Summer Olympics will take place in Los Angeles, USA. As his caption jokingly hints, it seems Rodriguez is aiming for the next Olympic event.

Apart from his sports enthusiasm, Alex Rodriguez is an analyst and broadcaster for FOX Sports and an avid golf lover, which he often shares on his social media platforms.
