Team USA unveils men's basketball roster
ESPN.com news service 10:58 AM EDT
The United States has announced its selection of the 12-player roster, led by Kevin Durant and Carmelo Anthony, that will try to win the Americans' third straight men's basketball gold medal at the Olympics.
Durant and Anthony are the only players with Olympic experience after a number of stars, including LeBron James, decided to not go to Rio.
Also chosen Monday for the team were Golden State's Klay Thompson, Draymond Green and Harrison Barnes; Toronto's Kyle Lowry and DeMar DeRozan; Cleveland's Kyrie Irving; Indiana's Paul George; Chicago's Jimmy Butler; Sacramento's DeMarcus Cousins; and the Clippers' DeAndre Jordan.
"I think I can speak for the entire coaching staff and say we're extremely excited about the team we will field for the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro," USA Basketball chairman Jerry Colangelo said in a statement. "I love our depth, which is another indication of the depth of talent our national team program is blessed with. We've got a great mix of talent, scorers, past gold medal winners and outstanding youth."
