It was difficult to watch Team USA Basketball’s recent elimination from the FIBA World Cup; they had a chance to advance to the final but Germany prevailed. People are pondering whether the 2024 Summer Olympics would be a good opportunity for atonement following this latest episode that everyone will wish to forget. None of the seasoned NBA veterans attended the World Cup, which is about to end, but we all know the Olympics have always been different. NBA players always want to have an Olympic Gold on their CV, and the Olympics in Paris in 2024 will provide them another chance to do so. After the World Cup’s demise, an X post of a potential team for next summer surfaced among all the veteran talent currently present in the NBA.

Could LeBron James lead Team USA to the Olympics?
Although head coach Steve Kerr is correct in saying that basketball is now much more globally connected than it was in the past, it is necessary to consider another Dream Team for Paris. All of the outstanding American players still playing in the league were featured in an image tweeted by the NBA Central X account. Olympic gold medals have already been won by athletes like LeBron James, Chris Paul, and Kevin Durant. Stephen Curry, though, has never even participated in an Olympic game, as crazy as that may sound. He has previously won two FIBA World Cup championships, but a variety of factors have stopped him from competing for an Olympic gold medal.
LeBron James, Jimmy Butler, Devin Booker, Kawhi Leonard, Damian Lillard, Stephen Curry, and Anthony Davis can all be seen in the contested photo along with Jayson Tatum. Can you picture how this fictitious team would do in the 2020 Summer Olympics in Paris? This level undoubtedly has a possibility to compete with or perhaps surpass previous Olympic Gold-winning teams. However, assembling all of those stars for the summer has previously proven to be a challenging task. At the very least, they would give it some thought if they went to all of them with a concept like the Netflix documentary “The Last Dance.”
