The United States is once again on top of the world in men's basketball. Team USA, stacked to the brim with all-time talent, squeaked past France in the gold medal match this weekend. Stephen Curry went nuclear, LeBron James posted a double-double, and Kevin Durant did Kevin Durant things. There was no more fitting way for this tournament to unfold.

The Golden State Warriors opted not to include rising talents Brandin Podziemski or Jonathan Kuminga in trade discussions for Paul George or Lauri Markkanen. Despite their interest, the proposed trades did not meet the Clippers' demands, leading George to sign with the 76ers and Markkanen extending with the Jazz. The Warriors held firm on keeping their young prospects, which ultimately hindered negotiations for high-caliber players. This decision follows the team missing the playoffs last season and losing Klay Thompson to the Mavericks in free agency.

The start of the 2024-25 NBA season is only a few months away, but the hype is already building. There are plenty of reasons why this year’s season could be even better than last year when the Boston Celtics finally broke through for an NBA championship to break the all-time tie with the Los Angeles Lakers. There was also the rise of NBA superstar Anthony Edwards from the Minnesota Timberwolves and the stellar debut of San Antonio Spurs’ rookie Victor Wembanyama. These storylines will be highlighted this upcoming season on one of the biggest regular season NBA days of the year.

Kendrick Perkins recently told the story of how James Harden was influenced to leave the Oklahoma City Thunder in 2012. During the 2012 Olympics, Harden joined Team USA where he got to play alongside his then Thunder teammate Kevin Durant and other notable names like LeBron James and Dwyane Wade. While Harden’s talents were undeniable, he acted as a role player for OKC at the time. However, that all changed after his teammates gave him some advice. Perkins revealed that James, Wade, and some of Harden’s other teammates played a role in his trade to the Houston Rockets in the 2012-13 NBA season. The former NBA veteran said that Durant told him that Harden was leaving after winning the gold in the 2012 Olympics. True enough, the thick-bearded role player went on to become a superstar and changed the landscape of the league.
