Team USA is ready to dominate the upcoming 2024 Summer Olympics with a fantastic roster. The American men’s basketball team includes some of the greatest NBA players, such as LeBron James, Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant, and Anthony Davis. Team USA demonstrated its true potential by winning five straight games in the pre-Olympic exhibition matches against several teams. They have finally arrived in France to compete for their country’s successive gold medal.
During an interview at a practice session, some of the players were asked whether they watch the ball or the rim when they release their shots. Stephen Curry, often regarded as the most excellent shooter in NBA history, said, “I look at the rim, obviously. Once I release it, I look at the ball for half a second, then I look back at the rim the rest of the way.” On the other hand, Minnesota Timberwolves star player Anthony Edwards mentioned, “That’s a good question. I watch the ball because the rim isn’t moving, but the ball is, so I watch the ball.” Meanwhile, Devin Booker responded, “I was taught to watch the rim, but I watch some replays back slowly, and I watch the ball most of the time.” Derrick White, who replaced Kawhi Leonard in the Team USA roster, responded, “The rim.”
Team USA Coach Reveals Exciting Injury Update of Two-Time NBA Champion
Kevin Durant, a two-time NBA champion, has missed all five exhibition games because of his lingering calf strain. Fans are worried about whether Durant will compete in the Olympics. However, coach Steve Kerr has provided an update on his injury situation.
“The plan is for him to get in the scrimmage and see how he handles that. He looked good today and he did everything, he got a lot of shots up and told me he’s feeling pretty good. It starts with the scrimmage tomorrow and we’ll see what the training staff says after that. This is not going to be like us going out and saying, ‘Hey, let’s just throw him out there.” Kerr said during an interview after reaching France.
The basketball events for the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris are set to start in a few days. Team USA’s first game is scheduled for July 28 against Serbia. However, Supporters can’t wait for Durant to get well and play for their nation.
