Team USA confirm Olympics basketball roster with led by Suns duo

Experience mattered to USA Basketball when putting together a roster for the Tokyo Olympics.

The Americans formally revealed their roster Monday, one that will be third-oldest U.S. men’s team in Olympic history for the Tokyo Games. The 12-man list includes five players - Kevin Love, Kevin Durant, Jrue Holiday, Damian Lillard and Draymond Green - already in their 30s.

In addition to those five players, the U.S. also has gotten commitments from Bam Adebayo, Bradley Beal, Devin Booker, Jerami Grant, Zach LaVine, Khris Middleton and Jayson Tatum to play on the team. All those commitments became known in recent weeks;  USA Basketball, which is seeking a fourth consecutive Olympic gold medal, merely made it official Monday with the announcement.

"USA Basketball is as strong as it's ever been and I'm very happy with that," USA Basketball senior men's national team managing director Jerry Colangelo said. "There's one goal in mind, and that's to bring back the gold medal."

Durant is on the Olympic team for the third time, making him the fourth U.S. player to have at least that many selections; Carmelo Anthony was on each of the last four teams, while LeBron James and David Robinson are the other three-time selections.

Durant was part of the gold-medal-winning squads in 2012 and 2016. Love was also on the 2012 team, Green was on the 2016 team. The other nine players on the U.S. roster will be appearing in the Olympics for the first time.
