The episode discusses the formation of Team USA's basketball roster for the 2028 Olympics, focusing on key players and coaching decisions.

And why do they appear to be foundational pieces for the red, white and blue heading into Los Angeles? Join us as we begin the journey toward the 2028 Olympic…
