Burdick won gold at the World Cup a decade ago and teamed with Van Lith — who has played the variation since she was 15 — to win another World Cup last year. Hamby helped the Americans take gold at the AmeriCup. And while Howard is relatively new to the scene, she did star in the 3x3 Challenge at the WNBA All-Star festivities.
The women’s team, by contrast, has been trying to build new bonds, and that was before Cameron Brink tore her ACL last month. Hamby was picked as her replacement and the race was on to get ready for the Summer Games. The men, who open against Serbia on Tuesday, have the same level of confidence thanks largely to their shared experience.
