During Team USA’s ultimately disappointing FIBA World Cup campaign, there was a noticeable lack of Golden State Warriors flavor, aside from Steve Kerr taking over as head coach.
But with three Golden State players about to join a star-studded team led by LeBron James, Stephen Curry, and former Warriors Kevin Durant, that could all be about to change come summertime. The “last dance” idea, which was first revealed by Shams Charania of The Athletic on Monday morning, is expected to go down in history and may be the final component to Curry’s nearly flawless resume.
Stephen Curry and Draymond Green of the Golden State Warriors are part of a select group that may be assembling for Team USA in time for the 2020 Olympics.Fans of the USA were left yearning for a more star-studded team to wreak revenge in the Olympics in Paris the following year after their talented but far from perfect team lost to England without winning a medal for the second time in a row.
James, who will be 39 years old when the Olympics begin, is leading a formidable team that features several players who will go down in history. This includes Curry, who has not yet earned an Olympic gold medal, and Draymond Green, Curry’s colleague from the Golden State and two-time gold medalist.
According to ESPN, Chris Paul, another current Warrior, might potentially be on the team. However, it’s unclear if Paul will still be with Golden State by the time the Olympics happen. Klay Thompson is one player who might not be present; the 33-year-old is said to be switching allegiances to the Bahamas despite having previously played for Team USA.
Watching Curry compete at the international level with players like James, Durant, and Green will be an incredible sight, even without his flashy brother. Even if they might likely be past their peak by then, it still looks like a fascinating ensemble of some of the best players to have ever played the game.
Curry has not competed for his country on the international front since the thrilling 2014 World Cup. As a 26-year-old, he had only participated in one of his nine career All-Star games and had yet to win any of his four NBA titles, two MVP awards, or the Finals MVP trophy.
Along with 2021 Gold Medalists Jayson Tatum and Devin Booker, James’ Laker colleague Anthony Davis is another well-known player who might participate in the Olympics.
