Team USA looks primed for a five-peat in men’s basketball.
The four-time-defending Olympic champions are bringing their strongest roster since the 2008 Redeem Team to this summer’s Paris Games.
The 12-man team features four NBA MVPs in LeBron James, Kevin Durant, Steph Curry and Joel Embiid. There are also several players who boast future MVP potential in Anthony Edwards, Jayson Tatum and Devin Booker.
But while Team USA is once again favored to claim gold, there will be several other NBA players looking to dethrone the champions. Giannis Antetokounmpo, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Victor Wembanyama are among the international stars set to compete.
