Shams updated social media today with an exposure of the U.S. men's basketball roster for the Paris 2024 Olympics.
It is reported that 11 of the current 12-member lineup of the U.S. men's basketball team have been determined.
The 11 are: James, Curry, Durant, Embiid, Adebayo, Huazi, Haliburton, Bushy Eyebrows, Holiday and Booker and Tatum
There's inside, there's 3-pointers, there's defense, there's offense......
What is the strength of this American team?
Now there is only one last spot left!
Who is absolutely worthy of this last seat?
Irving?
Leonard?
Chasing dreams?
Brunson?
Reeves? (World Cup performance is still okay)
Jaylen Brown?
Jimmy Butler?
Banchero?
Mikal Bridges?
George?
It is reported that the number one candidate on the American Basketball Association side is Leonard, but it should need to be considered again.
Oh, by the way, this year's U.S. men's basketball coach is Warriors coach Kerr, so it makes sense to bring another Warriors player, right?!
There's only one Warriors player on the roster right now
This is the first time in Curry's career that he has played in the Olympics, did he suddenly react to this?
Well, Curry has played in the national team, the 2010 World Championships in Turkey and the 2014 World Cup in Spain, but he really hasn't played in any of the Olympics.
In both World Cups, Curry won gold medals with the United States team.
This is also the first time Curry and James have teamed up on the national team
2010 U.S. Men's Basketball Roster: Curry (just finished his rookie season), Rose, Westbrook, Billups, Eric Gordon, Iguodala, Granger, Durant, Rudy Gay, Love, Odom, Tyson Chandler
In the World Championships that year, the U.S. men's basketball team won all 9 games and finally won the championship.
2014 U.S. Men's Basketball Roster: Irving, Harden, Rose, Curry, Klay, DeRozan, Farid, Gay, Bush, Zhuangshen, Cousins, Plumlee
In this year's World Cup, the U.S. men's basketball team also won all 9 games and finally won the championship
In other words, in the list of the two editions of the American men's basketball team, only Curry, Durant and thick eyebrows are left.
Durant and James are both in the fourth Olympics......
In the history of men's basketball, there are only two players who can win three Olympic gold medals, one is Carmelo Anthony, and the other is Durant (2012, 2016 and 2020).
If the U.S. team wins the gold medal again this time, then Durant will be the only one in history.
Back then, FIBA melons were an absolute killer!
In comparison, which of FIBA Du and FIBA melon is more lethal?
James has played three Olympics before, but in James' first Olympics in 2004, the U.S. team only won bronze.
James went on to compete in two Olympic Games, winning gold medals in 2008 and 2012.
Yes, the last time James competed in the Olympics was 12 years ago.
This should be James' last Olympics as well, right?!
It should be said that it was the last time he played as the U.S. men's basketball team, right?!
