Dream Team 2.0? Team USA's Star-Studded Lineup Heads to Paris for Olympic Glory
2024 Paris Olympics Men's Hoops: Team USA's Lineup, Game Plan, and When to Catch 'Em
Guys, the 2024 Paris Olympics are almost here, and that means we're gonna get some NBA playoff vibes in our basketball games, which is pretty sick, right? Team USA's got their sights set on bringing a killer squad for what's shaping up to be the most intense Olympic hoops tournament ever. So, here's the lowdown on who's playing for Team USA's men's basketball crew.
Who's playing for Team USA?
Okay, so the roster's basically locked in after swapping Kawhi for Derrick White, which was a bit of a surprise move. The big names? LeBron James, obviously, with Steph Curry, Joel Embiid, Jayson Tatum, and Kevin Durant rounding out the star-studded team. KD's been taking it easy at the training camp so far, but we're all pretty sure he'll be good to go for the games.
Jrue Holiday, Devin Booker, Ant-Man (Anthony Edwards), and AD (Anthony Davis) are also heading to Paris to rep Team USA. Oh, and we've got Derrick White and Tyrese Haliburton snagging the last couple spots on the team. It's looking pretty solid.
Now, let's talk about Embiid. This dude's a big deal. Born in Cameroon, he could've played for France, but he went with Team USA instead. Some people on the internet are giving him grief for it, but honestly, it's a huge win for Team USA. They've had issues with size against teams like Serbia with Jokic, and now France with Gobert and Wembanyama. Embiid's gonna be a beast out there, and we're all excited to see what he brings to the table.
So, keep your eyes peeled for the schedule and get ready to
cheer on these ballers as they go for the gold!
