USA Basketball announced on Monday what Mike Krzyzewski described as an "extraordinary" squad for London 2012, with Kobe Bryant and LeBron James both heading for the English capital this year.

The well renowned 'Dream Team' is worth around £160 million in annual salaries, and includes eight champions from the 2008 Olympic squad. Bryant and James head up a 20-man roster, 10 of whom won the World Championship title in 2010.

Krzyzewski is the squad's leader, and he currently boasts a staggering 48-1 record. That statistic represents the nation's decision to field their strongest squad at every Olympics following a poor run of form at the start of the Millennium.

Other big names include Chicago Bulls guard Derrick Rose, points machine Kevin Durant and centre Kevin Love.
