DeMarcus Cousins: A physical power forward who played for the Sacramento Kings.
Stephen Curry: The Golden State Warriors' famed three-point shooter, who would go on to become one of the NBA's best players.James Harden: Known for his scoring ability and signature style of play for the Houston Rockets.Kyrie Irving: The talented point guard for the Cleveland Cavaliers, who at the time was emerging as a star in the NBA.Some of the most notable players who were part of this successful US team included: Under the guidance of coach Mike Krzyzewski, this team demonstrated their dominance on the court and went on to win gold at the World Cup in Spain. The USA basketball team that won the 2014 FIBA World Cup was made up of a selection of talented NBA players who came together to represent their country at the tournament. So, with that core of players, the US national team wants to emulate what NBA greats did back in 2014, albeit in a slightly different manner. They are doing so with a team without stars, where New York Knicks point guard Jalen Brunson is one of the men carrying the weight of the team, supported by others such as Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards, Indiana Pacers player Tyrese Haliburton and reigning NBA Rookie of the Year Paolo Banchero of the Orlando Magic. Now, under experienced coach Steve Kerr, the US team is the top favorite to win the tournament being held in the Philippines, Japan and Indonesia in 2023. However, their last success came almost a decade ago in 2014. The United States are the most successful team in the history of the FIBA Basketball World Cup, with the US having won with five titles.
