Team USA lineup debates let us know the Olympics are almost here

We are 17 days away from hearing the familiar drums and trumpets of the Olympics theme song to accompany the broadcast of the Opening Ceremonies for the 2024 Paris Games.

Also drawing near are the possible final days of seeing LeBron James and Kevin Durant in USA basketball jerseys.

The men’s Team USA roster is stacked with stars — maybe its most talented edition to date, even considering the 1992 Dream Team and 2008 Redeem Team.

James first suited up for the Olympics team at the age of 19 in 2004 in Athens, where it won a disappointing bronze medal, before he took home gold in Beijing (2008) and London (2012). It’s been an eventful few weeks for James, who signed a Lakers contract extension after the team drafted his eldest son, Bronny James.
