The United States Olympic men's basketball team was unveiled at a ceremony in New York on Monday.

SOUNDBITE (English) Klay Thompson, USA guard:
"Everyone is very competitive on this team. We wouldn't be here if we weren't so competitive. So during the year, during the regular season it's a long season with the playoffs and 82 games, you know, you just want to beat each other up. Everyone wants to win that championship trophy, that Larry O'Brien (Larry O'Brien NBA Championship Trophy). But it's a quick turnaround, and it's easy to come together for one goal when it's USA across your chest, you get to go to Brazil. I mean basketball has taken us all to such amazing places in the world. So we get to go to Bazil and play in front of a whole new fan base and just have fun while doing it, and get to do it with some of the best players in the world."

SOUNDBITE (English) Kyrie Irving, USA guard:
"I'm just ready here to relish an opportunity of playing with a great team like this, on USA. It's a dream come true for me to be on a team like this. I've been dreaming of this since I was a kid, and to have the opportunity to win an NBA championship as well as go for gold it's amazing."
