Team USA's quest for the gold has begun and they've assembled an talented roster that resembles the Avengers but what is every player's ideal MCU counterpart?

Kawhi Leonard-Vision

L.A Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard is often described as robotic so why not compare him to The Vision? The Vision is technically a humanoid, which seems like an apt description of Kawhi, who doesn't show much emotion but operates with machine-like efficiency.

Of course, machines are likely to break down and both Kawhi and The Vision both know a thing or two about that. Kawhi was forced to withdraw from the Olympic team due to injury concerns and The Vision is now MIA in the MCU.

Kevin Durant-Mr. Fantastic

Reed Richards, AKA Mr. Fantastic of the Fantastic Four, is known for his ability to stretch his limbs and while Kevin Durant can't do the same thing, he is all arms and legs. People have noticed that he appears to be taller than two of Team USA's centers, Joel Embiid and Bad Adebayo, which lends credibility to the rumors that Durant is actually a seven-footer.

Considering that KD has played small forward for most of his career, he has often been the tallest player on the floor, which is seemingly unfair given how tough he already is to guard. Factoring in his length and contesting his shots is next to impossible, thus Mr. Fantastic.
