Nets star Kevin Durant will be looking to bring home his third Olympic gold medal this summer as he leads the U.S. men's basketball team into Tokyo.
Many of his teammates, however, will be looking to bring home gold in their first Olympic appearances.
The 12-person team was announced on Monday with Durant, Warriors forward Draymond Green and Cavaliers forward Kevin Love as the three returning Olympians. Green took home gold in the 2016 Rio Olympics, while Love was on the 2012 U.S. men's basketball Olympic team that won gold in London.
“This was an unusually challenging selection process for many reasons, including the year postponement of the Olympics and the issues related to the timing of the NBA regular season and playoffs," USA Basketball managing director Jerry Colangelo said in a statement.
