Team USA has once again proven why they are considered the most successful team in international competitions. The USA men’s basketball team secured four consecutive victories in the pre-Olympic exhibition games. The American team boasts a star-studded roster, including some of the greatest players in the NBA.

He was selected to play in his fourteenth All-Star Game.
