LeBron James, Steph Curry and Kevin Durant headline the loaded Team USA men's basketball roster for the 2024 Paris Olympics.

Durant, meanwhile, has a chance to become the first men's basketball player to win four Olympic gold medals. He debuted in 2012 and became the face of Team USA during gold medal runs at the 2016 Rio Olympics and 2020 Tokyo Olympics. Curry will be making his Olympics debut in Paris with Warriors head coach Steve Kerr taking the reins with the men's team.
