USA Basketball's roster for the FIBA World Championship is set. Led by Hall of Fame head coach Mike Krzyzewski and USA Basketball boss Jerry Colangelo, the Americans are out to strike gold at the Worlds for the first time in 16 years. Here's a look at the 12 guys representing the U.S.
Kevin Durant, the Oklahoma City Thunder's star forward, is the face of Team USA for this summer. Whether the 21-year-old can emerge as the team's vocal leader remains to be seen, but his play certainly isn't a concern: In recent exhibition games against Lithuania and Spain, he led the team in scoring in both and blocked two, last-minute shots in the latter for an 86-85 win.
