The NBA will be incredibly well represented at the 2012 Olympics in London. The NBA has 39 players from 11 different countries in the Olympics, with only one country (Tunisia) not carrying an NBA player on its roster.
As to be expected, the United States leads the way with all 12 of its players being NBA players. France, ranked 11th in the world, is second with six players. Spain, who is No. 2 in the world and considered to be Team USA's top competition, is third with five.
