There's no MVP, there's no King and there's not much of a Dream Team.

Team USA will be pursuing Olympic gold in basketball without superstars Steph Curry, LeBron James, Russell Westbrook, James Harden, Damian Lillard and LaMarcus Aldridge.

Former gold medal winners Kevin Durant and Carmelo Anthony will still don the stars and stripes.

Joining them will be guard Kyrie Irving of the Cleveland Cavs plus three Golden State Warriors - Klay Thompson, Draymond Green and Harrison Barnes.

Two Toronto Raptors make the squad with Kyle Lowry and Demar DeRozan.

Also joining the red, white and blue are Jimmy Butler of the Chicago Bulls, Paul George of the Indiana Pacers, DeMarcus Cousins of the Sacramento Kings and DeAndre Jordan of the Los Angeles Clippers.
