USA Basketball is setting its sights on a fifth consecutive Olympic gold medal in men’s basketball at the Paris Games. Positioned in Group C alongside Serbia, South Sudan, and Puerto Rico, Team USA has assembled a star-studded roster featuring forward LeBron James and guard Stephen Curry.
The team is currently training in Las Vegas, Nevada, honing their skills and adapting to the unique FIBA rules that differ from NBA regulations. At 36, Curry is making his Olympic debut, bringing his exceptional talent and leadership to the international stage.
\"That's why I'm here. It will mean everything,\" Curry said. \"You get the players with this type of talent, the best in our league, against the best in the world, continue to show our dominance, Team USA, and just the whole Olympic experience, something I've never had before, so I'm very excited about just taking and soaking it all in.\"
With a roster loaded with some of the best players in the league, USA Basketball is confident in their pursuit of Olympic gold, aiming to continue their legacy of excellence on the global stage.
