Team USA men’s basketball is loaded with NBA stars once more: LeBron James, Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant, Kawhi Leonard, Devin Booker, and more.
Are they as good or better than the original Dream Team in 1992?
It would be hard to beat the three NBA MVPs and 68 All-Star appearances combined that included Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson and Larry Bird.

But this team has four NBA MVPs (James, Durant, Curry and Embiid) and no shortage of star power. Every player on the 2024 roster has made an NBA All-Star team, only the second time Team USA has gathered this many honors.
Perhaps as important, the team returns five players from their 2020 gold medal roster in Tokyo and adds experienced Olympic players in James and Davis.
The team kicks off a 5-game traveling exhibition schedule on Wednesday, July 10, in Las Vegas before starting the official Olympic competition in Paris on July 28.
