The US team summons 41 players for the 2024 Paris Olympics: LeBron, Curry and the NBA galaxy converge

Although the 2024 Paris Olympics are still many months away from starting, the US basketball team has begun preparing for a “revenge” campaign this coming summer.

The call-up list includes 41 players announced by the US team’s leadership on January 24 with many famous names, all with the goal of bringing the American basketball team to the highest podium at the Paris Olympics.

Call this a “revenge” campaign because the US team just went empty-handed at the FIBA World Cup 2023, finishing fourth overall and without any medals.

LeBron James and Stephen Curry both did not play in the World Cup but are ready to play for the team at the 2024 Olympics. Other big names are similar including Anthony Davis, James Harden, Jimmy Butler, Kyrie Irving, Kawhi Leonard, Chris Paul or Paul George.

Of course, we cannot ignore the most notable “rookie” of the American basketball team, Joel Embiid, the center forward who chose the American basketball team instead of his hometown team Cameroon or France.

Embiid has confirmed that he will play for the US team at the 2024 Paris Olympics if nothing unexpected happens, promising to become the solution to the center forward problem that has caused headaches for the team for many years.

The 2024 Paris Olympics will be Joel Embiid’s first Olympics, and is also where many other All-Star players will “debut” if selected.

The list includes Tyrese Haliburton, Trae Young, Anthony Edwards, De’Aaron Fox, Jaylen Brown and Brandon Ingram. The above names have played for the US team in several international tournaments, the highest being the FIBA World Cup, but have never tried their hand at the Olympics.

Besides the big stars, “morning stars” like Tyrese Haliburton will likely make things difficult for their seniors in competing for the final 12 spots at the Paris Olympics.

Whether or not the US team will win the men’s 5×5 basketball championship at the 2024 Paris Olympics will depend on the future. But this concentrated list of terrible quality shows that the Chinese football team is ready to return to the throne, determined to conquer the fifth consecutive Olympic gold medal.

Full list of 41 players and coaching staff members summoned by the US basketball team to prepare for the 2024 Paris Olympics:

– 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 and Trae Young.
