USA Basketball Team Jerseys - Exclusive Team USA Jersey Discounts
Check out our exclusive
selection of USA Team jerseys
on sale now. The USA Men's
National Basketball team is
one of the most successful
basketball teams in the
international competition,
with medals in all sixteen
Olympic tournaments they have
joined, of which they have won
thirteen golds. Despite this
dominance, team USA currently
trails Argentina in the FIBA
((French: Fédération
Internationale de Basketball)
world rankings.
Traditionally, the team was
composed of amateur players
but in 1989 FIBA allowed
professional players to join
TEAM USA. The first such team,
known as the "Dream Team", won
the gold medal at the 1992
Summer Olympics in Barcelona,
Spain. With the introduction
of professional players, the
team has captured gold medals
in 1996 & 2000. However,
facing increased completion,
USA team had its share of
failures like finishing sixth
at the 2002 World Championship
and losing 3 games on its way
to a bronze medal at the 2004
Summer Olympic Games. These
failures result to a change in
USA team’s philosophy and
their way of handling their
complete team selection
process. The USA won their
first seven games at the 2006
World Championships in Japan,
losing against Greece in the
semi-finals, ending the
competition with the bronze
medal. Team USA won gold two
years later at the 2008 Summer
Olympics with a dominant
performance. Among the recent
roster are Carlos Boozer,
Jason Kidd, Lebron
James, Deron Williams,
Michael Redd, Dwyane Wade,
Kobe Bryant, Dwight Howard,
Chris Bosh, Chris Paul,
Tayshaun Prince and Carmelo
Anthony.
Team USA has two set of uniforms:
white jersey & dark navy jersey.
