Hello everybody and welcome back to Around the Association! Today we have some exciting updates about Team USA and their arrival in Paris for the 2024 Olympics. The team received a warm welcome with fans packing the streets to catch a glimpse of their favorite players as they arrived via train.

Team USA had a couple of close exhibition games leading up to their arrival, where LeBron James notably stepped up big. But this video is focusing on some off-the-court activities involving the players, showcasing their camaraderie and fun moments.

Steph Curry and Anthony Edwards have been enjoying their time in Paris. However, it seems Ayesha Curry might have her hands full keeping Steph out of trouble with Edwards, who is known for his lively personality. Here’s a fun exchange between the two about a ping pong match:

**Anthony Edwards:** “Man, I’mma smack you 21 to nothing.”

**Steph Curry:** “In what? Ping pong? That’s them right there, talking about they gonna beat me 21 to zero. I don’t believe it. I’m scoring at least one point.”

**Anthony Edwards:** “There’s only one way to find out. When we gonna do that?”

**Steph Curry:** “Whenever.”

In addition to their playful banter, Anthony Edwards was spotted in a heartwarming moment with his son and his baby mama. It’s great to see players balancing family time while gearing up for the big games.

During practice, Kevin Durant was seen giving some valuable advice to Anthony Edwards about his shooting technique, emphasizing the importance of holding his follow-through. Here’s a clip of that interaction:

**Kevin Durant:** “You gotta hold your follow-through, young blood.”

**Anthony Edwards:** “Got it, KD.”

Anthony Edwards took the advice well and later returned the favor with a spectacular poster dunk on KD during practice. It’s always impressive to see young players taking advice from veterans and then showcasing their talents.

As for Team USA’s prospects, there’s a lot of optimism about bringing home the gold. The team’s depth and talent make them formidable opponents, but the competition will be tough. Who do you think will be their biggest challengers in the finals?
