It’s no wonder that players want to play with Stephen Curry, the man who transformed the game and elevated an entire organization. Devin Booker and Anthony Davis both picked the two-time MVP as their option, while Anthony Edwards chose Kevin Durant, who he has previously stated is his favorite player of all time.
Team USA has always been the home of the best players in the game. The iconic Dream Team, consisting of six-time champion Michael Jordan and three-time MVP Magic Johnson, was the pinnacle of their success. In recent years, the roster has dwindled due to a lack of celebrity involvement, and worry reached an all-time high when they finished fourth in the FIBA World Cup last year.
Team USA, on the other hand, responded by assembling a lineup that included legends such as LeBron James, Stephen Curry, Joel Embiid, Jayson Tatum, Anthony Davis, and Devin Booker. The star power is at an all-time high, and even Curry can look forward to playing alongside the King.
Curry and James, being two of the best players in contemporary NBA history from opposing Conferences, frequently fought throughout their heyday and have always been on opposing sides. As the leading representatives for Team USA this summer, they are finally on the court as allies, and Steph is embracing every minute.
While they have had the opportunity to play together in the past, neither LeBron nor Curry has taken advantage of it, and it has always been a distant fantasy for fans. This summer may not be the union some had hoped for, but they are both scheduled to start representing Team USA throughout the summer. Everyone is clearly looking forward to this moment.
After trading Kawhi for Derrick White, there is some concern that Team USA would lack that seamless camaraderie to begin the tournament, but the sheer talent may be enough to carry them through, especially against teams like France, who has Victor Wembanyama and Rudy Gobert.
Only time will tell if Team USA can win the gold, but the stars are enjoying the voyage so far and appear eager to prove their spot at the pinnacle of the sport. With outstanding quality in every position and a steady, experienced hand leading the way,
