Between guys like Carmello, Iverson, Carter, McGrady etc. I seem to remember a lot of issues with guys not really caring about the team and just wanting to collect their gold medal and go home.

You just named 4 guys who have always been considered disappointments, be it in the NBA or elsewhere, largely do to their me first attitude. That said I don't recall any players passing on playing for the US due to being solely interested in their NBA contracts and sponsorships.
And I'm not sure what the issue is if they're still their to collect a gold medal, that's sort of the point isn't it?
