And it has officially begun. Team USA’s much-awaited campaign for the Paris Olympics has kick-started in Las Vegas. The NBA world witnessed the arrival of each superstar, right from Stephen Curry‘s early bird entry. Moreover, the visuals of players linking up went haywire on social media. Now, another video further involving LeBron James, Steph, Kevin Durant, and several others has dropped, amping up the expectations.
It’s the visuals of players greeting each other before the introductory meeting. It’s where Steve Kerr, the head coach of the team, briefs the players about the agenda of the union. Of course, it will be about dominating the hardwood at the Olympics. King James, who joined the camp late, had a word with Steph and KD before the meeting. Steph and Bron, once arch-rivals, were seen, saying, “About time, about time, about motherf**king time,” as they dapped their hands.

Following Steph, Kevin Durant approached James for a dap. The LA Lakers superstar turned toward him excitedly and both said, “Back at it.” However, the 4x Champion immediately turned goofy when he met his Lakers teammate, Anthony Davis. Standing near him, Bron said, “I wanna have a good summer. I wanna have a good summer. There is no way I can have a good summer with this guy. Who told him to be on the team man.”
Apart from the three superstars, LeBron James reached out to every single player and welcomed them into the side. The only player who wasn’t seen on the video was Jayson Tatum. On the other hand, Steve Kerr, Tyronn Lue, and other coaching staff also featured in the video, greeting the superstars. They sure do have a huge task in front of them to decide the starting five for the overpowered team.
The road ahead for LeBron James & Co.
Unlike other national sides, Team USA began their training camp very late. The NBA postseason could be a major reason, but still, plenty of players had their off time. However, LeBron James seemed to have begun his preparations early as he shared pictures of himself, training in Team USA jerseys.

Nevertheless, it’s better late than never. Before heading to Paris, the team will have a 4-day training camp in Las Vegas. It will be followed by an exhibition game against Team Canada. The neighbors had begun their preparations well in advance and will look to start their campaign with a win. While Team USA often made the headlines for the overpowered roster, Team Canada isn’t any less well. They too have a stacked roster comprising Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Jamal Murray, Dillon Brooks, and many others.
