According to ESPN, 11 places have been defined for the team to beat for gold at the Games. There is still one spot missing on Coach Kerr’s roster
The NBA Olympian takes to the field for the Paris Games. After the first list of pre-summits in January, a US team of real stars will take to the field to win Olympic gold: from LeBron James to Stephen Curry, from Kevin Durant to Joel Embiid. And the CEO of the USA team, Grant Hill, has not yet closed the roster for the training camp in July and the exhibition matches in Las Vegas: there is still one place missing on the team.

The 11 for Paris would therefore be: Anthony Davis (forward-center, LA Lakers), Devin Booker (guard, Phoenix), Anthony Edwards (guard, Minnesota), Jayson Tatum (wing, Boston), Jrue Holiday (play-guard, Boston), Bam Adebayo (downtown, Miami), Tyrese Haliburton (guard, Indiana), LeBron James (wing, LA Lakers), Stephen Curry (play guard, Golden State), Kevin Durant (wing, Phoenix) e Joel Embiid (downtown, Philadelphia). And Steve Kerr, coach of the national team, will have Curry at the Games for the first time, who gave him 4 rings. For LeBron James it would be the fourth Olympics after the bronze won in 2004 and the golds in 2008 and 2012. The only two veterans of the US expedition to the 2023 World Cup left without medals are Haliburton and Edwards.
