Is this version of Team USA the modern Dream Team?

The 2024 Paris Olympics are right around the corner. Team USA has sent an incredibly strong team to compete for a gold medal in basketball. The decision was made after a difficult FIBA World Cup showing, where the USA finished fourth after losing a third-place decider against Canada.

Superstars such as LeBron James, Steph Curry and Anthony Davis have traveled with Steve Kerr’s team this summer. The Boston Celtics have three representatives on the squad: Jayson Tatum, Derrick White and Jrue Holiday. As such, this roster is arguably one of the strongest basketball rosters Team USA has ever taken to an international tournament. Even Joel Embiid joined the USA to get a chance to win a gold medal.

During a recent episode of the “Bob Ryan and Jeff Goodman Podcast,” the two hosts discuss whether this version of Team USA is as good, if not better, than the Dream Team of 1992. Of course, that debate may need to wait until after the Olympics before a genuine assertion can be made.

You can watch the full episode by clicking on the embedded video above.
