No way we lose the gold this year … just no way.
The United States men’s basketball roster for the 2024 Paris Olympics is being finalized, and holy moly, the talent is unreal. The news was reported Monday by ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, and it was revealed that elite talent such as LeBron James (Los Angeles Lakers), Stephen Curry (Golden State Warriors), Kevin Durant (Phoenix Suns) and Joel Embiid (Philadelphia 76ers) will be featured.
Grant Hill, the managing director for Team USA, has decided to keep one spot on the roster open prior to training camp in July and the exhibition contest that will be played in Las Vegas, per ESPN’s sources.

I can’t even remember the last time that the United States had a dominant team like this going into an Olympics, but it’s definitely safe to say that this squad is heavy in “Dream Team” territory.
Dust off that trophy case, ladies and gentlemen, because we got another gold medal on the way.
