The upcoming Paris Olympics will feature a star-studded roster for Team USA, including LeBron James and Stephen Curry. This will be the first time that James and Curry have played together as teammates. The returning players from the last Olympics include Jayson Tatum, Kevin Durant, Devin Booker, Jrue Holiday, and Bam Adebayo, who won gold in Tokyo in 2021. This will be James’ fourth Olympic appearance and his third with Team USA.
Curry missed the 2016 Olympics due to injuries but is making his Olympic debut this year. He is joining Embiid, who chose to represent Team USA over France and Cameroon. The team is looking forward to redeeming itself after a disappointing performance at the FIBA World Cup last summer. They will face tough competition from teams like host nation France, Serbia, and Canada, who are expected to field strong rosters with players like Victor Wembanyama, Rudy Gobert, Nikola Jokić, and Shai-Gilgeous Alexander.
The team may leave one roster spot open initially but will have Steve Kerr leading the way as head coach with assistance from Tyronn Lue, Erik Spoelstra and Mark Few. Kerr is known for his success with the Golden State Warriors and bringing home four NBA championships during his tenure there. With him at the helm of Team USA’s roster of talented players such as James, Curry, Embiid and others it is clear that they are aiming for another gold medal this summer in Paris.
In conclusion, Team USA’s star-studded roster for the upcoming Paris Olympics includes some of the best basketball players in the world today such as LeBron James and Stephen Curry. With a talented lineup that has experience playing together on their respective teams they hope to bring back another gold medal this summer while facing tough competition from other countries like France and Canada who also have strong lineups of their own.
