The expansion roster has room for 28 players with USA Basketball experience. 13 men have competed in the Olympic Games, including two-time champion Chris Paul (2008, 2012). Anthony Davis and James Harden also won a gold medal at the London Games.
The golden brigade of the Rio Games from 2016 is represented by Jimmy Butler, Paul George and Kyrie Irving. Bam Adebayo, Devin Booker, Jason Holiday, Damien Lillard and Jayson Tatum triumphed at the Tokyo Games in 2021.
In the World Cup, the Americans fared much more modestly. Gregg Popovich’s men finished seventh in China in 2019, while Steve Kerr’s team had to settle for fourth place in the Philippines in 2023 after losing to Germany.
Stephen Curry is the only national team candidate who has become a two-time World Cup winner (2010, 2014). The list of world champions includes Kevin Durant (2010), as well as Anthony Davis, James Harden, and Kyrie Irving (all 2014).
Cameroonian and French passport holder Joel Embiid has found a place in the pool of candidates. Also, the Americans do not criticize the services of the Italian national Paolo Bankero – it is true, he has already stated that he prefers the interests of the US national team.
The extended roster includes four of Kristaps Porzingis’ Boston Celtics teammates: guard/forward Jaylen Brown, guards Jrue Holiday and Derrick White, and 25-year-old forward Jayson Tatum.
