STANFORD, Calif. -- Not only do the Golden State Warriors have a chance to win their third NBA championship in a row this season, they also can become the first NBA team in history to land five players on Team USA in advance of this summer's Basketball World Cup in China and the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo.
In the wake of Warriors head coach Steve Kerr being named an assistant coach on Gregg Popovich's Team USA staff, Warriors All-Star and 2016 gold medalist Klay Thompson admitted that the possibility of representing his country alongside Warriors teammates Stephen Curry, Draymond Green, Kevin Durant and DeMarcus Cousins would be special.
