Since the Summer Olympics take place only once every four years, not many players have won both an NBA championship and an Olympic gold medal in the same year. Jrue Holiday, Jayson Tatum and Derrick White are looking to accomplish that feat at the 2024 Paris Olympics.

The trio -- along with NBA Finals MVP Jaylen Brown -- led the Boston Celtics to their record 18th NBA championship in June. Now, the three look to lead Team USA to its fifth straight Olympic gold medal.
