Melo did say that he would play for the Puerto Rican national team prior to his 1st olympics. but once he played internationally for the United States team, i do not believe he can play for another country.

There was talk about it a long time ago before he got the team USA invite. He's half puerto rican and has a tattoo of the flag, but doesn't speak a lick of spanish and has never been to the country. Your info is about 3 years old.

I was under the impression that Melo did NOT want to play for them when Arroyo tried to recruit him.

I was also under the impression that you could only play for one nation in that sport.
