Clockwise from the top left:

Kevin Durant’s first USA Basketball experience was a win in the 2006 Nike Hoop Summit.

Kevin Garnett played in the first Nike Hoop Summit in 1995, just weeks before he went No. 5 in the NBA Draft.

Tony Parker is one of the most famous World Team stars in Nike Hoop Summit history, but his World Team lost to the USA by one in 2000.

Guarded by Andrew Wiggins for much of the night, Jabari Parker and the USA fell to the World Team in 2013.

The USA’s tips off against Dirk Nowitzki in 1998, which saw Nowitzki score 33 points to lead his team to a win.
