With Olympic basketball tipping off on Saturday and USA Basketball looking for their sixth gold medal in the past seven Olympics (thanks a lot, Larry Brown), the NBA has an incredible hold on the basketball in Rio. Players of past, present, and future are littered throughout the rosters of the 12 competing countries.

There are 45 current NBA players under contract participating in the Olympics this year.
