Report: Fred VanVleet on his way to becoming first-time Olympian

Fred VanVleet is having a heck of a season (after having a heck of an offseason), and it only looks to be getting better: The fifth-year Toronto Raptors guard is reportedly one of 60 selectees to Team USA’s initial player pool for the 2020 2021 summer Olympics in Tokyo.

Now: Did you forget there’s (allegedly) a Summer Olympics happening this year? We don’t blame you! As a refresher, this Olympiad was set to take place last summer, but was postponed, thanks to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
