The Olympics are just two months away, and historically, players who have played together for Team USA have eventually teamed up in the NBA. If that trend holds true, then there could be some superteams that assemble in the near future. This is especially true given how stacked this incarnation of Team USA is. LeBron James, Kevin Durant, and Steph Curry headline a star-studded 12-man roster.
The obvious goal is to win a gold medal for the United States, though with so many stars playing together for an extended period of time, it's not out of the question that two players might discuss playing together in the NBA someday. With that in mind, let's take a look at five wild star pairings that could come from Team USA this summer.
Team USA Roster:
LeBron James (Los Angeles Lakers)
Stephen Curry (Golden State Warriors)
Kevin Durant (Phoenix Suns)
Joel Embiid (Philadelphia 76ers)
Anthony Davis (Los Angeles Lakers)
Devin Booker (Phoenix Suns)
Anthony Edwards (Minnesota Timberwolves)
Jayson Tatum (Boston Celtics)
Bam Adebayo (Miami Heat)
Tyrese Haliburton (Indian Pacers)
Jrue Holiday (Boston Celtics)
Kawhi Leonard (Los Angeles Clippers)
