What Jayson Tatum and Jrue Holiday said about joining Team USA for 2024 Olympics
Briefly

I didn't see that coming," Holiday said of Hill's surprise visit to his house. "I thought my wife was better than that, she usually warns me or something but she didn't warn me. But, it was cool. Obviously he came to give me the jersey and ask me to be on the national team and congratulate me so I'm really excited."
"It's an honor," Tatum said. "Something I've always wanted to do growing up. I'm excited about my second opportunity to play in the Olympics this summer."
"It's extremely special," Tatum said. "I played on three USA teams when I was in high school. I got to wear No. 10 all three of those years, knowing that my favorite player wore No. 10 for the national team. I played on the FIBA World Cup team in '19 and had No. 10, and in 2021 I had No. 10 on that team. It's something I don't take for granted or lightly. I know what comes with wearing that number."
"I was super excited," Tatum said. "I was upset when they lost in '08 then he got to come back and win in 2009 and 2010. Especially, getting his revenge back in 2010. I was a happy kid watching that."
