While the 2024-25 NBA season is still a few months away, basketball will still be televised as Team USA is currently on the road playing exhibition games before the start of the 2024 Olympics in Paris.
This year’s version of Team USA is stacked with star talent led by LeBron James and Stephen Curry, but they’ve also got Joel Embiid, Kevin Durant and Jayson Tatum backing them up.
Up and down the roster, there are players with numerous accolades though this summer they’ll need to come together to bring back the gold for a fifth-consecutive time.
As things stand, the Americans are the overwhelming favorite to win it all at the Olympics though countries like France and Canada stand in their way.
With so much talent and experience, it’s hard to imagine any country beating Team USA at the Olympics.
However, Dwyane Wade explained that the biggest challenge facing the program is getting the players to settle into their respective roles via 7PM in Brooklyn.
“Now I look at the challenges of the mentalities of all of these avengers,” Wade said. “Because now is about to get real and they’re going to have to find out in a short period of time, everyone that will play and not play is going to have to figure out how to be a star but in the role that you have to play for the team for them to be successful.”

Wade understands how hard the adjustment can be for stars to play fewer minutes and get fewer touches, but so far through the exhibition slate they’ve adapted just fine.
