The American GOAT, Burroughs will now be on his 12th World or Olympic Team, an incredible feat of longevity and excellence, especially when you consider the guys he kept from getting on World Teams throughout his career — guys like Kyle Dake, David Taylor, Alex Dieringer, Isaiah Martinez, Andrew Howe and Chance Marsteller.
