Lebron, Durant, Curry, Tatum, Lillard and now Embiid to join team USA for the Paris Olympics

[skyrunner1]

1. Don't really hit the same since Wiggins isn't going.

2. Shouldn't need the Avengers to beat Shai and Dillon Brooks

3. This shyt is ridiculous in hindsight. A lot of these cats have realized their window has closed so are taking spots that should go to the younger generation.

4. Embiid is a dikkriding fakkit.

5. Jaylen, Trae, Brunson, Chet etc should be on this team instead of these old cats.

LeBron James Likely To Start As Point Forward For United States

LeBron James is likely to be in the starting lineup for the United States in the 2024 Olympics, sources tell The Athletic. James will likely play point forward as a starter with Stephen Curry moving off the ball. Curry, Joel Embiid and Kevin Durant are considered locks for the starting lineup, which leaves James and either Kawhi Leonard or Anthony Davis for the other two spots. James last played for the United States in the 2012 Olympics and his game has changed dramatically over the past 12 years, especially on defense.

Steve Kerr generally likes to play smaller when he can, but their lack of size was an issue last summer in the World Cup. This could lead Kerr to going with Davis over Leonard in the starting lineup.

The remaining six players on the roster, Jrue Holiday, Devin Booker, Tyrese Haliburton, Bam Adebayo, Anthony Edwards and Jayson Tatum, all have compelling arguments to receive regular playing time as well.

Ehh, I guess I like the confidence from the young gun butttt Olympic teams dont really work like that.. This can be a slippery slope for building team chemistry

 

[inndaskKy]

Did Tyrese Maxey decline an invitation? Why is he not on the squad? Don't let me find out they didn't ask him.

Tatum starts

Tell that to the Athletic and their Team USA sources not me. They don't seem to think so.

 

[IIVI]

Honestly, KD is one really good concept away from having a really good lane outside of the NBA.

Jrue seems like one of those "I'm good at most things I try" types.
