Team USA's basketball stars are swapping NBA courts for Olympic glory in Paris – but Coach Steve Kerr says adapting to FIBA rules will be their ultimate test. 🔥 The star-studded roster, featuring LeBron James (39) and Olympic first-timer Steph Curry (36), aims to secure America's fifth consecutive gold this summer.
Training camp in Las Vegas is buzzing as Curry – a 4x NBA champ – gushes: \"It will mean everything… soaking it all in.\" 🌟 But with Group C rivals Serbia, South Sudan, and Puerto Rico waiting, Kerr emphasizes strategy: \"International play demands adjustments – less isolation, faster rotations.\"
Key challenges? FIBA's shorter 3-point line and physical defensive rules could shake up plays. 🎯 Can Team USA's NBA-centric style evolve in time? The world watches as Paris 2024 becomes basketball's ultimate crossover event. 🌍💫
