<p>The 2023 FIBA Basketball World Cup begins on August 25, and the United States Men’s National Basketball Team (USABMNT) is one of the favorites to win the tournament. Although <strong>they do not have big names on the roster</strong>, the players they have brought to the event should be enough.</p>



<p>The USABMNT will start the group stage in<strong> Group C with Jordan, Greece, and New Zealand.</strong> They are favorites to advance to the Second Round, where they will be part of another tough group. If they can advance to the Final Round, they will be one of the favorites to win the gold medal.</p>



<p>The last time the USABMNT won the FIBA Basketball World Cup was in 2014. They have only two World Cup titles in the 21st century, but they have won a total of 16 gold medals at the Olympic Games.</p>



<h2>Which NBA Stars recently visited the USABMNT?</h2>



<p>According to a video posted by the NBA on Twitter, <strong>the two players who visited the national team were <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/chris-paul">Chris Paul</a> and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kyle-lowry">Kyle Lowry</a></strong>. Paul is a two-time gold medalist with the national team, while Lowry won a gold medal at the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics.</p>

<p><strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/oklahoma-city-thunder">Oklahoma City Thunder</a></strong> has one of the youngest rosters in the league, and they are betting that players like <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/chet-holmgren">Chet Holmgren</a></strong> will be the future of the franchise and that they will help not only the franchise, but also Team USA at some point.</p>



<p>However, having a young core does not guarantee anything for the Thunder, as not all of the youngsters on the roster are of the same caliber. <strong>Only a couple are likely to make it far with the franchise.</strong></p>



<p>On the other hand, the <strong>2023 FIBA Basketball World Cup</strong> is getting closer, and although the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/usmnt">United States</a></strong> will not have the biggest names on their roster, they hope that the players they select will be more than enough.</p>



<h2>Who are the two Thunder players who were called up for the Team USA training camp?</h2>



<p>The United States will play in the 2023 FIBA Basketball World Cup, but they are still finalizing the list of 12 players. For now, they are holding training camps, and <strong>Chet Holmgren and Jalen Williams were two of the Thunder players recently called up for the training camp.</strong></p>
