2024 Paris OlympicsJames is back with Team USA for the first time since the 2012 London Olympics. The NBA's all-time leading scorer is a three-time Olympian, earning bronze in 2004 and back-to-back golds in 2008 and 2012.
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. At 36 years old, Curry will seemingly step in as the starting point guard for the 2024 competition.
Embiid, Haliburton, Edwards and Leonard are also representing Team USA at the Olympics for the first time. Embiid, the 2022-23 NBA MVP, was also eligible to play for France or Cameroon on the international stage but Tatum, Holiday, Adebayo and Booker all won gold in their Olympic debuts in Tokyo. Davis is also a one-time gold medalist, earning his in 2012 before he even made his NBA debut.
