Since Shams Charania’s announcement regarding LeBron James’ desire to build a monstrous team to represent the United States at the Paris Olympic Games, many NBA players want to be one. Among them, Suns star Devin Booker would even be ready to accept a teammate role.
After the rout of the United States at the 2023 World Cup, it’s a bit of the order of battle in the country of Uncle Sam. In the lead, the declarations of LeBron James stating the King’s desire to go at the Paris Olympics next year, with a five-star cast set to roll into the tournament and reestablish U.S. dominance on the basketball world. Since then, the subject has become one of the main reasons for conversation among NBA players, and some are already expressing their desire to be alongside Bronbron in Paris in a year.
Devin Booker is one of them. And he is ready to concede his superstar status in the NBA for the duration of an international competition. In any case, this is what he attested by responding directly to Kyle Kuzma on Twitter. The Wizards player publicly expressed his questioning regarding the ability of certain stars to comply with a specific hierarchy during the Games, with fewer balls and less playing time.

A great will, it remains to be seen what this will give on the ground. The best example to date is Brandon Ingram. Leader of the Pelicans, Ingram had great difficulty adapting to the collective needs of Team USA, unable to find his rhythm in the competition with reduced playing time. The result ? A frustrating and failed competition from an individual point of view, and a big lack for Team USA on a collective level. It will therefore be necessary to agree – in the event of forming a very high-level team – on the role of each person well in advance of the World Cup. Because the international selections don’t have this kind of problem, and it shows on the field.
