The idea LeBron James proposed after last year’s FIBA World Cup debacle is coming to fruition. All the superstars on Team USA have landed in Las Vegas for the first practices before the Olympics. Yes, some of them have teamed up for All-Star games. However, those games have anything but competition in them. Therefore, when James, Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant, and other stars met up, fans naturally got excited.

A video posted by USA Basketball showed LeBron James greeting Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant, and the rest of the superstars. This team has a solid mix of veterans who are going for possibly their last attempt at Olympic Gold. Then, there are the younger bloods like Anthony Edwards and Tyrese Haliburton, with star talents like Joel Embiid and Kawhi Leonard, who will wear the stars and stripes for the first time.

All of them have been assembled to ensure Team USA wins gold and gets over the embarrassment suffered in the FIBA World Cup. The sheer number of stars on this team will make one wonder if they are comparable to the likes of the famed Dream Team.

Many will say that the Dream Team is way beyond what this group is. Nevertheless, most of the superstars were still in their prime and went up against teams that were nowhere near their level. On the contrary, many national teams have improved immensely, indicating that this victory will be savored even more.
