Kings' DeMarcus Cousins, Rudy Gay no strangers to Team USA (VIDEO)
Tuesday is the first day with all of the invited players assembled in Las Vegas for the Team USA mini-camp and practices, and Sacramento Kings stars DeMarcus Cousins and Rudy Gay are among those in attendance. Gay, in fact, was already engaged in conversation with former Chicago Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau early in Tuesday's session.
While some of the 34 players in attendance might have first-time jitters as they informally audition for one of 12 spots on the Team USA final roster, that shouldn't be the case for Cousins and Gay. Both played on the 2014 FIBA World Cup team that took home gold and extended Team USA's current win streak to 63 games. And in case you forgot how dominant the two were, here's a highlight clip to remind you.
