Oh, if David Stern could see this.
The late NBA commissioner's dream of growing the highest levels of basketball far outside of the United States' borders couldn't be more evident than the reigning, three-time NBA MVP heading into the opening game of his Olympics tournament to face Team USA.
Nikola Jokiu0107 gets top billing every time he steps on the court for the Denver Nuggets, but he'll have a tall task in leading Serbia into Group C play against a Team USA loaded with basketball icons up and down the roster. LeBron James, Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant and Jayson Tatum lead a host of future Hall of Famers into Paris, with the USA looking for an eighth gold medal in nine tries since the Dream Team first featured NBA players at the Olympics in 1992.
