Oklahoma City star Kevin Durant and Miami playmaker LeBron James were named Thursday to the United States’ team for the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics, completing what coach Mike Krzyzewski calls a strong pool. Durant leads the NBA with 31 points a game, while James ranks second at 26.2. They, like about half of the entire team, also played for the US in the 2012 London Olympics. The roster features the NBA’s 11 current top scorers, seven of the NBA’s top 11 rebounders, 2 assists leaders, and a blocked shot leader.
