The NBA has a lot of interest in the 2024 Olympics in Paris as numerous players across the league are competing for their national teams this summer.
However, all eyes have been on Team USA who brought a stacked roster to Paris to lead the program to its fifth consecutive gold medal hopefully.
Headlining the group is LeBron James who is playing in his fourth Olympic games, but has gotten help in Kevin Durant who is also playing in his fourth Olympics.
James and Durant are already cemented as arguably the two best players to ever play for Team USA given their success and roles in winning.
However, there is also a case for Carmelo Anthony who was a steady presence for Team USA for four tournaments before retiring.
Golden State Warriors Draymond Green has also played for Team USA and named James, Durant and Anthony as the three-greatest players to play for the US national team via The Volume.

Some might scoff at the inclusion of Anthony who wasn’t the same caliber of superstar as James and Durant, but he certainly had his moments in international play.
Anthony was a go-to scorer for the United States in several clutch moments, but he also found ways to catch on fire and put games out of reach early on in contests.
His blend of size and shooting made him perfect for Olympic play and Green is absolutely validated in naming him one of the best players in the program.
