The first partnership between LeBron James and Stephen Curry in international play began with a phone call in the fall. Curry recalled that the two NBA rivals discussed teaming up at the 2024 Paris Olympics, potentially joining the greatest collection of talent in basketball history. This summer, the trio of superstars, including Kevin Durant, will play together for the first time in international competition.
Team USA, featuring James, Curry, and Durant, is heavily favored to win their fifth consecutive gold medal. Durant aims to become the first man with four Olympic basketball gold medals, while James looks to add a third gold to his impressive international resume. Curry, after 15 NBA seasons, is preparing for his Olympic debut.
