USA Basketball has officially announced the 41-player pool for the 2024 USA Men’s National Team. This team will represent the United States at the 2024 Olympic Summer Games, which are set to take place in Paris. The 12-member team will be selected from this pool at a later date.
The 41-player pool includes some of the biggest names in basketball. LeBron James, Stephen Curry, and Kevin Durant are among the headliners. Other players who have represented the USA in the Olympics and/or FIBA Men’s World Cup and who have won a total of 23 Olympic or World Cup gold medals are also part of this pool.
The 2024 USA Men’s National Team will be led by head coach Steve Kerr, who is assisted by Mark Few, Tyronn Lue, and Erik Spoelstra. The quartet coached the 2023 USA Basketball Men’s National Team to a fourth-place finish at the 2023 FIBA Men’s World Cup in Manila. Kerr is a 2020 Olympic gold medalist after serving as an assistant coach to Gregg Popovich in Tokyo.
