Lebron James, Steph Curry, Kevin Durant and more NBA all-stars making up Team USA in men's basketball, sit down with TODAY's Craig Melvin as they set their sights on gold at the 2024 Olympics. 'I think this is the most talent we've had from top to bottom,' Durant says. Watch the 2024 Paris Olympics on NBC and streaming on Peacock, July 26 - Aug 11.
Anthony Edwards is one of the emerging stars in the NBA who’s in Paris with Team USA, hoping to help the men’s basketball squad win its fifth consecutive Olympic gold medal. But he’s also got his eye on another sport. The Minnesota Timberwolves guard was in the crowd when fellow American Lily Zhang defeated Brazil’s Bruna Takahashi in table tennis on July 29. After Zhang won a point in the match, a camera captured Edwards standing and cheering.
Edwards and the table tennis players mentioned possibly playing, although they didn’t land on any date to do so. Zhang is competing in her fourth Olympics and has advanced to the round of 16 for the first time. She will next play July 31 when she faces the winner of South Korea’s Shin Yu-bin and Hungary’s Georgina Póta. “This is something I’ve wanted for so long; I’ve worked so hard for. This is the furthest I’ve had for my four Olympics,” she said after the match.
