The NBA playoffs are just getting started.
Teams are hoping to put their best foot forward in this year’s postseason, hoping they find a way to win the NBA Finals.
While the playoffs are at the forefront of many fan and analyst conversations, there is another topic that’s at the top of mind for some.
The Summer Olympics are just a few months away, as this year’s games are slated to take place in Paris.
Team USA is ramping up for this event, trying to take home their fifth-straight gold medal.
As the team prepares to take on the rest of the world, fans and analysts are trying to predict what the starting lineup will be.
Robbie Hummell recently appeared on “The Rally,” where he outlined his ideal starting five.
Hummell’s picks are Steph Curry, Jrue Holiday, LeBron James, Kevin Durant, and Joel Embiid.
From the Team USA basketball roster, who are your starting 5?🤔🏀@RobbieHummel’s list is…
1. Stephen Curry
2. Jrue Holiday
3. LeBron James
4. Kevin Durant
5. Joel Embiid pic.twitter.com/lv0afmjbO7— The Rally (@TheRally) April 17, 2024
All five of these players are still at the top of their game, although, Embiid is coming off a grueling injury.
He is expected to play for the Philadelphia 76ers throughout the playoffs, but it remains to be seen if the team will let him attend the Olympics.
Embiid is a valuable part of the 76ers’ roster, and if he gets hurt this summer, the team could be without him for even more time in the 2024-2025 season.
Team USA is once again filled with superstar talent from the NBA.
If they can find a way to play together as a cohesive unit, this team could be well on their way to winning another gold.
