The San Antonio Spurs are often heralded as the team that introduced the NBA to scouting European talent, and they have had more than their fair share of foreign superstars.
On their current roster, Victor Wembanyama is French, Charles Bassey is Nigerian, Bismack Biyombo hails from Congo, and Jeremy Sochan is Polish.
Only Wembanyama qualified for the Olympics in 2024, although he could be joined by Devin Vassell, who is exploring joining Jamaica's basketball team, alongside plenty of other NBA stars.
Vassell, Amen and Ausar Thompson, Scottie Barnes, and Isaiah Stewart are all in the process of joining Norman Powell and Josh Minot on "The Reggae Boyz."
The only Jamaican-born player currently in the NBA is Phoenix Suns center Nick Richards, and he played for them in the 2023 FIBA Basketball World Cup.
There is a track record of NBA players joining national teams with questionable connections to the country, although Barnes' father is Jamaican.
While the Jamaica national team might not be able to compete with the French, Americans, or even the Germans, a roster with at least eight NBA players should be enough to qualify for the 2028 Olympics and make a push for a medal.
Jamaica has won 94 Olympic medals, with 93 of them coming on the track. In 1980, David Weller won a cycling bronze medal in Moscow.
Patrick Ewing is the greatest Jamaican basketball player, although he never suited up for the National Team, instead opting to play for Team USA on the Dream Team.
