Lakers News: LA Guard Shares All-Time Team USA Starting 5

Plenty of Laker legends represented here.

Current Team USA and Lakers guard Austin Reaves had plenty to say in an interview conducted in the middle of his prep for the upcoming FIBA tournament later this month. 

When asked about who he'd share the court with in his starting five alongside his own talents, he answered with plenty of Laker greats to play with.

It's hard to argue with Reaves choices with some of the greatest players of all time on the international stage. 

Winning two gold medals together, Kobe Bryant and Lebron James won against Spain in both the 2008 and 2012 Olympics after the famed US flameout of solely a bronze medal in the 2004 rendition of the Summer Games. 

Bryant to his credit never lost an international game while playing with the national team going undefeated in 36 games for the American squad. 

Not to be outdone, Michael Jordan was the forefront of the Dream Team after years of disappointing finishes for American basketball on the international stage. 

1992 saw maybe the greatest team ever assembled before or since as Jordan and the Americans crushed their competition to similarly win gold in dominating fashion. 

To his credit Shaquille O'Neal followed up with a gold medal of his own in the 1996 Summer Games in his only showing with the American team in international play. 

Reaves picked quite the team to go to war with all time, but the current American team has their sights set on winning the FIBA tournament at hand later this month. 

With former Lakers Brandon Ingram and Josh Hart also part of the team, the American team want to etch their name as the next men up to represent the stars and stripes laced in gold.
