What Team USA will look like, and how they’ll win, at the upcoming Olympic Games
The U.S. Men’s Basketball Team will almost certainly win gold at the upcoming Olympics in Rio de Janeiro. That kind of inevitability may sound drab, but two other medals are up for grabs, international basketball is actually relevant, and the pairing of Harrison Barnes and Kevin Durant promises to be both compelling and awkward.
Most importantly, watching U.S.A. basketball at the Olympics is like watching an all-star game that matters, except one team is ridiculously talented and the other has barely any NBA talent at all.
