The threat to reunite the ‘Avengers’ – imitating the call of MARVEL superheroes to save the world – and that the Dream Team of the United States National Team come back on your own… it’s real. USA Basketball made its terrible preselection official, with 41 players and all the stars and stripes NBA basketball stars present: LeBron James, Kevin Durant, Stephen Curry o Joel Embiid They head a list to return the pride lost last summer. Only 12 will attend the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.
Mikal Bridges’ incredible play to force overtime against Canada
Paris and Olympic gold are enough hot spots, but the reality is a poor performance by the United States last summer. They do not give all the importance to the World Cup and their team full of young talents made an impact in the event held in Indonesia, the Philippines and Japan. Without leaving Manila, a city in which they are a religion and where they established an entire ‘bunker’, they were unable to take off. Fourth place, after losing to Germany in the semifinals and Canada in the fight for bronze after that crazy finish after Mikal Bridges’ tying basket.
This being the case and after a major failure, The United States – or the players themselves – call up a Dream Team: Bam Adebayo, Jarrett Allen, Paolo Banchero, Desmond Bane, Scottie Barnes, Devin Booker, Mikal Bridges, Jaylen Brown, Jalen Brunson, Jimmy Butler, Alex Caruso, Stephen Curry, Anthony Davis, Kevin Durant, Anthony Edwards, Joel Embiid, De’Aaron Fox, Paul George, Aaron Gordon, Tyrese Haliburton, James Harden, Josh Hart, Tyler Herro, Jrue Holiday, Chet Holmgren, Brandon Ingram, Kyrie Irving, Jaren Jackson Jr., LeBron James, Cam Johnson, Walker Kessler, Kawhi Leonard, Damian Lillard, Donovan Mitchell, Chris Paul, Bobby Portis, Austin Reaves, Duncan Robinson, Jayson Tatum, Derrick White y Trae Young. Hay que elegir 12.
Preselection.
They are all the stars and all the profiles that can exist. Remember, of course, three teams that were everything in the Olympic event. The one in 1992 in Barcelona, which he destroyed with a team in which Michael Jordan shone. And he had his own stories, from Jordan’s veto of Isiah Thomas, with whom he was experiencing a war in the Bulls-Pistons, or the defeat against some young guys in a sparring match. Or the one of 2008, similar to the current one because they tried to raise pride. That won Spain one of the best finals of all time.
Among the names, in addition to the presence of LeBron, Durant, Curry…, the name of Joel Embiid stands out, as he experienced all kinds of rumors about his presence in the Games. He committed to France to partner Victor Wembanyama, but ultimately decided to play for ‘Team USA.’‘. He is on the list a few hours after scoring 70 points against the Spurs in the regular league.
A tremendous team, for a tremendous goal. “We brought together incredible talent for basketball and I am proud of the numerous stars who showed interest in being in the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. The goal is to help us reach the goal of gold,” acknowledged Grant Hill, manager of the selection. The Avengers have assembled.
