Head coach Steve Kerr has the formidable task of preparing Team USA for the Paris 2024 Olympics with a squad brimming with extraordinary potential. With Stephen Curry joining the iconic LeBron James on the primary roster, fans are overjoyed to witness two basketball greats together in the Olympics.
Moreover, it could be a winning formula for the USA NBA team with Coach Kerr at the helm, who is a five-time NBA champion himself. So, the 39-year-old seemed to be prepared to beam on every Olympic day.
Team USA currently counts mostly on two NBA rivals—LeBron James and Stephen Curry—among its core players. Fans can’t contain their excitement at seeing these fierce rivals join together for their nation at the Olympics. It got even more exciting when James talked about working with the Golden State Warriors duo in a recent interview.
The Los Angeles Lakers talisman’s excitement was clear when he said, “I’m happy to be on the same side as him right now, and also happy to be on the same side as his point guard as well.” This sincere response delighted NBA fans, who are used to seeing these rivals face off on the court always. The 39-year-old will benefit greatly from here as he will get to play with and learn from the nation’s best players and, perhaps, win another gold medal.
