*3. LeBron has played in three Olympics (2004, 2008, and 2012). Melo has made four Olympic appearances (2004, 2008, 2012, and 2016).
Twice? Jayson Tatum has only played in one Olympics (2020).
The only "older" player that should be on the 2024 USA Men's Olympic Basketball team is Steph Curry.
Curry has yet to play in an Olympics, and he says he wants to be at the Olympics next year. An Olympic Gold Medal is the only major achievement that Curry doesn't have.

Sniper out now on all digital platforms brev
Lithuania/Serbia/Canada/Slovenia is tough side
Bron played in the FIBA Cup in 2006 and FIBA Americas in 2007, same with Melo
Tatum played in the 2019 FIBA Cup
I thought you were talking Olympics only.
Its not a matter of having to ask. KD has helped the program win 3 gold medals, if he wants to play next year the door should absolutely be open. Of the young guys, Fox is one I think they really need, along with Booker, Ant, Tatum, Bam.
Finally back in the Olympics I canncry now brehsv

USA fakkit small ball coming home to roost
NBA players got way too comfortable for the rules diminishing the influence of the big man and to be so much in favor of wings and guards
When you get to the World stage with FIBA/Olympics you start to see how much other teams can take advantage with Size against the US. They just straight abused NBA small ball play by pounding in the paint, crisp paint passing, high elbow jump shots, etc
The US coaches have some blame as well. Making Walker Kessler a bench warmer, JJJ only being used as a screen setter and roll man, etc. Even when they were down big, they still stayed with small ball. NBA's neglect for the Paint is coming back to haunt them

especially with Kerr as a coach, it would be great to see Steph play. if they focused using him off ball he will crush. his kids are young enough to just make it a family vacation to Paris too, Brons sons prob have to stay back with summer activities, so it’s harder for him to swing these days
