Tokyo 2020: Team USA Basketball at the Olympic Games

Tokyo 2020 is just around the corner and the upcoming two weeks will have the sports world in for a treat. Team USA is already looking forward to making its debut in the Olympic Games hoping to begin its way to a fourth-straight gold medal.

The San Antonio Spurs legendary coach Gregg Popovich will be at the helm of the national team during the Olympics. Unsurprisingly, his side will be full of NBA superstars that will try to take their country to glory in the greatest sports competition.
