words // Nick DePaula:
In the first of a batch of exhibition games that Team USA will be playing in the coming weeks as they tune up for this summer’s 2016 Olympic Games next month in Rio, as expected, the Men’s USAB roster cruised to a 111-74 win versus an aging Argentina team.
Led by Kevin Durant and Paul George, the USA roster also showcased its balance. There might be 10 new players from the squad that captured gold in the 2012 London Olympics, but players at all positions chipped right in. In addition to the scoring from KD, PG and Carmelo Anthony, DeMarcus Cousins was a bright spot, snatching up 15 rebounds in just 16 minutes.
With USAB often sticking to a tame white-dominant color palette on sneakers, we saw splashes of navy and red in spots along the court. Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving wore their mostly white signature models, while Draymond Green headlined the new Zoom Clear Out, and several other players supported the new Hyperdunk 2016.
