2012 Olympics USA Basketball Team Roster By SportsYeah  [94 more lists]

The 2012 Olympic USA Basketball Team roster is composed of 12 of the finest professional basketball players from the United States and will compete for a gold medal at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London, England. While the preliminary roster is set to be announced on January 18, 2012, many familiar faces are nearly locks to join the team. Once the official roster is announced, this US Men's Olympic Basketball Team roster will be updated here.

Like many editions of the squad from the past, the 2012 US Men's Basketball team will enter the Summer Olympics with big expectations to dominate the tournament and bring home a gold medal. This was also the case in 1992 when the "Dream Team," composed of some of the best basketball players of all time, won the gold medal in glorious fashion. Other teams in the years since were less successful, such as the 2004 squad, but the US bounced back to win a gold medal in 2008.

Many of the players from that 2008 team are projected to rejoin the fight in the 2012 campaign. Comprised completely of National Basketball Association players, the 2012 roster likely will include some of the best in professional basketball right now such as Kobe Bryant, Kevin Durant, LeBron James, Carmelo Anthony, Chris Bosh and Dwyane Wade. Additionally, the likes of Derrick Rose, Rudy Gay, Kevin Love and Blake Griffin could also join the team.

We'll be watching for an announcement and will provide updates right here once the roster is finalized. Until then, tell us which players should be included on the Team USA Men's Basketball roster, which should be left at home, and why by leaving a comment below.
