The NBA is a global spectacle now more than ever. Even though most players are and have always been born and raised in the United States, it’s not unusual to see foreign players such as Luka Doncic, Nikola Jokic, or Giannis Antetokounmpo shine there.

Moreover, those foreign players also pursue a different challenge outside of the National Basketball Association, and that’s winning either a FIBA World Cup or Olympic gold medal with their countries.

That’s why, even if they’re tired or banged up after a full NBA season, they still suit up to play for their homeland when needed. Today, we’re going to let you know about every single NBA player currently taking part in the Tokyo 2020 Olympics.
