USA Basketball announces its men’s team for the Paris Olympics

LeBron James is going back to the Olympics for the first time in 12 years. Stephen Curry is headed to the games for the first time.
They’re just part of a star-studded roster the Americans have assembled for the Paris Games. AP's Tim Reynolds has more.

Durant might be the only one clean, I dont know since when you put on mass and grow muscle by running up and down the court everyday 🤔 US basketball defies the odds 💪🏽

They may not use 'steroids' but they do use legal 'peptides and neutraceuticals' that mimic the effect of steroids.

Holiday over Kyrie is wild Ngl. Our forwards can do enough defending don’t need a guy who is the fifth best on his team.

[@NinoKlentBaylosis]

kyrie who?

[@Lilmakk6]

First off he’s 3rd best… second of all Kyrie is one dimensional while holiday is a two way

[@josh37829]

Holiday is the best perimeter defender in the league. I’d say it was the right thing to do. I understand we want to see the absolute showstopper that kyrie is but, defense like the man in the video says, is USA’S focus so it was the right move.

[@TstanDa-Man]

Holiday is one of the best defensive guards in the game and Kyrie well isn’t

[@willthomas7666]

And id still take Kyrie over him u clowns

[@JavierGonzalez-ww8du]

[@fishmanfishman6511]

Professional athletes should not be competing in the Olympics! Team U.S. A. should not be bragging. It's comparable to the varsity team beating the junior varsity team and being overly proud of the win! Overpaid pro basketball players stay on the NBA courts not Olympic amatuer courts

[@Royalt1981]

All politics

[@citizenenak]

What they should do is play as a team. The American team. Showboating serves to elevate the ego unless showboating is done for the team. Get it? Can they even play together well given they all inhabit the mindset of superiority as talents concerned. Can they make a lane for a united America who can work together?
