Some of the game's greatest players have helped the US bring home the gold in past years, with this upcoming team not likely to be an exception.
Team USA, of course, will be coached by San Antonio's Gregg Popovich and Houston's James Harden is another top name USAB hopes to secure for its 12-man squad

Fans of basketball normally only get to see such a collection of talent once a year at the annual All-Star Game. Having brought home the previous two FIBA championships, expect Team USA to compete for the gold once again. And look really good doing it.
