When Jimmy Butler takes the court for the first time as a member of the U.S. Men’s National Team, he carries on a long history of Bulls stars making an impact on the international scene. From the time of the original Dream Team in 1992 that featured the Pippen/Jordan duo to the numerous players who represented their home countries through the years, international basketball has long featured NBA stars representing their countries at the highest levels.
Butler and the current edition of Team USA come to Chicago on July 29 to take on 2015 FIBA Americas gold medalist Venezuela for an exhibition/pre-Olympic warmup match. Butler is sure to be putting on a show for the home crowd, and Bulls fans will get to see Jimmy team up with the likes of Kevin Durant, Carmelo Anthony and Kyrie Irving for the first time. Before Team USA takes the court, see how well you know your U.S. Men’s Olympic Team history – if you know your stuff, you might just win yourself a pair of tickets to the game.
