<p>The <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/olympics">Paris 2024</a> Olympic Games</strong> are drawing nearer and fans can’t wait to know <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/team-usa">Team USA</a></strong>‘s roster for the basketball event. On Monday, Adrian Wojnarowski of <em>ESPN </em>and Shams Charania of <em>The Athletic</em> revealed an 11-man roster led by <strong>LeBron James</strong> and <strong>Stephen Curry</strong> expected to represent the country.</p>



<p>Apart from the NBA’s two biggest stars, the other prominent players that will reportedly complete the roster are <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kevin-durant">Kevin Durant</a>, Jayson Tatum, Joel Embiid, Devin Booker, Tyrese Haliburton, Anthony Edwards, Jrue Holiday, Bam Adebayo and Anthony Davis.</strong></p>



<p>Needless to say, that’s a stacked roster with <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/steve-kerr">Steve Kerr</a> as head coach. According to <em>ESPN, </em>Team USA managing director Grant Hill is keeping one roster slot open ahead of a July training camp and exhibition games in Las Vegas.</p>



<h2>Fans react to Team USA reported roster for Paris 24′: Funniest memes</h2>



<p>This reported roster <strong>gave a lot to talk about</strong>: <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/stephen-curry">Curry</a> hasn’t played in an Olympics before, while KD is one of two players (along with Carmelo Anthony) to win three men’s basketball gold medals. <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lebron-james">LeBron</a>, meanwhile, is expected to play in the Olympics for the fourth time, taking home bronze in 2004 before winning gold in 2008 and 2012.</p>



<p>Team USA has won the gold medal in four straight Olympics, and with this star-studded roster, <strong>fans only expect them to outplay every single opponent</strong> en route to another success in Paris.</p>

<p><strong>USA Basketball </strong>just announced its 41-player pool for the<strong> Paris Olympics. </strong>As expected, the biggest powerhouse in basketball features nothing but the creme of the crop and a plethora of proven <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nba" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NBA</a> talent.</strong></p>

Nonetheless, there was a major omission from this list.</p>



<p><strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/draymond-green" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Draymond Green</a></strong> played in the <strong>past two Olympic games, </strong>having an instrumental role in back-to-back gold medals.

<h2>Grant Hill Explains Why USA Basketball Snubbed Draymond Green From Their Olympic Pool</h2>



<p>NBA legend and<strong> USA Basketball executive director Grant Hill</strong> addressed the media to discuss this matter, claiming that they chose not to include Geen in the wake of his recent suspensions:</p>

<p><em>“His contributions have been significant, and he is a real part of the legacy of this organization for his excellence,”</em> Hill told the media. <em><strong>“But I think just in lieu of sort of what’s transpired this year, we made a decision to not have [Green] on this list with this particular point in time with the process.”</strong></em></p>



<p>Hill states that decision-makers at USA Basketball believe playing summer hoops could<strong> interfere with Draymond’s hard work</strong> as he looks to navigate whatever’s going on with him off the court:</p>



<p>“<em>We all understand and certainly have great respect and sensitivity to this particular period in his career and he’s working through some things both on and off the court,” </em>Hill said. “<em><strong>We at USA Basketball, we want to support him on his journey. We just didn’t feel that playing over the summer gives him the best opportunity to do what he needs to do.”</strong></em></p>

<p>In recent basketball discussions, the spotlight has been focused on the disappointing performance of<strong> Team USA</strong> at the FIBA World Cup.<strong> Steve Kerr</strong>‘s roster wasn’t stellar as the USA is accustomed to, but their 113-111 defeat to <strong>Germany</strong> in the semifinals was still shocking.</p>



<p>This loss shattered their hopes of winning the World Cup for the second consecutive time, following their disastrous seventh-place finish in 2019. While reaching the semifinals marked an improvement, settling with a third-place match against<strong> Canada</strong> wasn’t their intended outcome.</p>

<p>Being eliminated by a German team with only a handful of NBA players exposed the need for a stronger lineup for Team USA at the 2024 Olympics. Speculation about potential team additions surged, with<strong> <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lebron-james">LeBron James</a></strong> joining the conversation with a simple comment.</p>



<h2>LeBron James’ Comment on Potentially Playing the Olympics</h2>



<p>Right after Team USA’s loss to Germany was confirmed, the conversation shifted towards the significance of having a star-studded roster instead of a lineup composed primarily of mid-level players.</p>



<p>The Dunk Central created an image showcasing a potential Olympic roster, which was headlined by LeBron and notably featured<strong> Kevin Durant</strong> and<strong> Stephen Curry</strong> among other megastars who could join the team. This post was shared by SportsCenter, where the King dropped <strong>the eye emoji</strong> in the comment section to chime in on the discussion.</p>



<p>Despite it may seem hard to envision LeBron playing for Team USA at his age after a demanding season, his response hinted at the possibility of him preparing for his<strong> fourth Olympic participation</strong>. He previously earned a bronze medal in 2004 and followed it up with two consecutive gold medals. However, he chose not to participate in the last two events.</p>

<p><strong>Team USA</strong> is gearing up for the<strong> FIBA World Cup</strong> without the main NBA stars. However,<strong> <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/steve-kerr">Steve Kerr</a></strong> is going to coach a roster full of talent, including players like Anthony Edwards, Brandon Ingram, and Mikal Bridges among others.</p>



<p>The tune-up matchups they have had so far has given a great impression of the team, having won all four of them. They defeated Puerto Rico, a<strong> Luca Doncic</strong>-less Slovenia, Spain, and Greece for a combined 102 points.</p>

<p>This time, the competition that is scheduled to begin on August 25, may not have the US overwhelmingly above the rest. The coach of the<strong> <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/golden-state-warriors">Golden State Warriors</a></strong> aimed at the points of concern.</p>



<h2>Steve Kerr on Team USA’s Rebounding and Turnovers</h2>



<p>Kerr has led the Warriors to four championships in the last decade, largely thanks to having<strong> <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/stephen-curry">Stephen Curry</a></strong> in the lineup. However, there is no denying the head coach also did his part. One characteristic that defines Golden State is their preference for utilizing versatile players, even when they lack ideal size.</p>



<p>Precisely this idea is the one he’s been applying in their matchups, with a starting five of Jalen Brunson, Anthony Edwards, Mikal Bridges, Brandon Ingram and Jaren Jackson Jr. According to Kerr getting rebounds is an area the team should emphasize, but they have solid there. The other concerning aspect are turnovers, which has been an issue more so than the rebounding.</p>



<p>“The concern is turnovers and rebounds. If we stay even on the possession game, I feel great about our chances against anybody. The way teams can beat us is if they get extra possessions and force a lot of turnovers and we’re not sharp and we’re not boxing out. And I’ve told our guys that. It’s not really a secret.”, Kerr explained about what could hurt the team in the tournament.</p>

Steve Kerr Reveals What Could Beat Team USA - Bolavip US

<p>The <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/los-angeles-lakers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Los Angeles Lakers</a></strong> didn’t need a<strong> lottery pick in the<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nba" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> NBA</a> Draft</strong> to find their next star. They didn’t even need to use a draft pick at all, but <strong>Austin Reave</strong>s has proven that he belongs in the league already.</p>



<p>Reaves got<strong> a big payday</strong> in the offseason. It was well-deserved after all the great work he put in throughout the course of the campaign, and it seems like he’s just getting started.</p>



<p>His great play granted him a spot in <strong>Team USA’s</strong> roster for the upcoming<strong> FIBA World Cup.</strong> Moreover, he recently drew the ultimate compliment from <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/golden-state-warriors" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Golden State Warriors</a> coach Steve Kerr</strong>, who praised his versatility.</p>



<h2>Steve Kerr Raves About Austin Reaves’ Versatility</h2>



<p><strong><em>“He fits in wherever we put him; that’s the beauty of Austin,”</em></strong> Kerr said.<strong> </strong><em>“He’s a connector. He’s a hell of a basketball player. </em><strong><em>He’s physical, shoots and passes it. Just so poised out there all the time. He’s a guy who enhances any lineup that he plays with.”</em></strong></p>



<p><strong><em>“ Just feel, vision, awareness, and understanding of the game,” </em></strong>Kerr added. <em>“The ball just goes to the right spot, the right cut is made. Austin made a play yesterday where he made a drive and kick; he was kind of behind the defense, and he worked completely behind the defense, flashed kind of in the middle of the paint, caught it and swung it through.<strong> He had feel; you have to have awareness to make a play like that. So connectors are guys who make those types of plays, and the game just makes sense, and you end up getting open shots.”</strong></em></p>

<p>Reaves is a rising star, and his work ethic and basketball IQ will help him get better as the years go by. The Lakers struck gold, and his contract could be one of the <strong>best bargains</strong> in the league in no time.</p>

<p><strong>Steve Kerr </strong>and the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/golden-state-warriors" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Golden State Warriors</a> </strong>changed the way <strong>NBA basketball</strong> was played. And while <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/stephen-curry" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Stephen Curry’s </a></strong>presence obviously was the main reason, <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/draymond-green" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Draymond Green’s </a></strong>unique skill set also helped.</p>



<p>That’s why it’s not surprising to see that Coach Kerr is looking to replicate his flawless system with<strong> Team USA</strong> ahead of the upcoming <strong>FIBA World Cup </strong>in the Phillippines.</p>



<p>With that in mind, he’s set to use reigning <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nba" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NBA </a>Rookie of the Year Paolo Banchero</strong> as a small-ball five, as he believes he could bring a lot of the table with his shooting and playmaking.</p>



<h2>Steve Kerr Confirms Paolo Banchero Will Play At Center</h2>



<p><strong><em>“He’s gonna play some 5,”</em></strong> Kerr told ESPN. <em>“One of the things we really found in [2021] in the Tokyo Olympics was having </em><strong><em>a 5 who can push the ball and transition and create plays is very difficult for FIBA teams to handle.</em>“</strong></p>



<p>“<strong><em>So he can play some 4, as he showed, but he’ll play plenty of 5, as well,” </em></strong>the coach confirmed.</p>

<p>This version of Team USA is <strong>the youngest we’ve seen in ages</strong>, so there will be some growing pains. Then again, they’re talented enough to bring home the gold, even despite their lack of experience.</p>
