With the 2024 Paris Olympics only 3 months away, fans were eager to know the star-studded roster representing America among the best in the world.

The humiliating 4th place exit led to the biggest NBA superstars announcing their interest in participating in the Paris Olympics to bring glory back to America.

With the final roster set for the summer showdown, let\u2019s look at their chances of winning gold in Paris.<\/p>\n<p>USA Basketball has gone with a guard-heavy roster with 5 elite guards on the team. Stephen Curry was a lock in the Final 12 from the very moment he expressed interest in going to Paris. After their dominant performance in the FIBA World Cup and the NBA regular season, Tyrese Haliburton and Anthony Edwards retained their spots. Haliburton averaged 8.6 points, 5.6 assists, and 3 rebounds in the 2023 tournament. On the other hand, Edwards emerged as a superstar despite Team USA\u2019s 4th-place finish, averaging 18.9 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 2.8 assists.
