Behind The Scenes Look At The Men's Olympic Hoops Team (Videos & Photos)

Since NBA players began participating in the Olympics back in 1992, these world famous athletes have served as the most noteworthy celebrities at each and every event from Barcelona to the current games taking place in London. Names like LeBron James and Kobe Bryant are far more prominent in the UK, even at the present time, than modern-day Olympic icons like Michael Phelps and Usain Bolt. These NBA stars have truly revolutionized the level of star power on hand at the world's most significant sporting event.  

iFolloSports.com has provided fans with an up close perspective of virtually every single member of the 2012 squad, including much of the coaching staff. Below is a look at some of the original footage captured by our reporting team.
