Could add 2 more to the list too. Would be pretty cool to have 5 former men's players competing for 5 different countries.

Nick Weiler-Babb is part of the final 16 up for Germany in this year’s games, with completed rosters needing to be trimmed down to 12.

As for South Sudan, Marial Shayok is part of the final 25 players being considered for the team in the tournament.

Apparently LeBron can't either.

Canada's roster is very very good.

US played pretty bad that first qtr.

Need to tighten up D and make better passes. This isn't an all star game.
