If the last NBA Draft didn’t drive the point home, maybe the Olympics will — international basketball is thriving.
There will be a record 46 active NBA players who suit up in Rio for the Olympics, a new record (there were 41 in the London games four years ago). There are another 18 former NBA players who will be taking part in the Rio games as well. That’s 64 current or former NBA players in the games.
Not surprisingly, the San Antonio Spurs have the most with five guys, followed by the Utah Jazz with four. The Chicago Bulls, Dallas Mavericks, Golden State Warriors, New York Knicks, and Toronto Raptors each have three.
Ten of the 12 teams in the Olympic tournament have an NBA player. Outside Team USA, Spain has the most active NBA players with seven. After that it’s Australia, Brazil, and France each with five NBA players.
