🥇Paris 2024 Summer Olympics

[MarvelFan]

Figured that I start making this one now, though there are still 120 days left until the event officially opens.

Here's to talk about the 2024 Paris Olympics!

Men's and Women's 5x5 Basketball had already made draw in the group stage matches!

Excited that Japan has representatives on mens and womens 😊 (for womens especially...really looking forward for 2020 Olympics finals rematch against US!)

Almost unfair for other nations 😄
Keep one roster spot left for Jalen Brunson, I'd say!

With a roster like that, no other country stands a chance at taking home the Gold this year.

Surprised to see Halliburton instead of SGA.

Surprised to see Halliburton instead of SGA.

SGA represent Canada, I believe...as he did during the last World Cup.
Canada surprisingly has a deep basketball team as well...besides SGA, they have RJ Barrett, Jamal Murray, Lu Dort, Kelly Olynyk, and Dillon Brooks.

SGA represent Canada,

besides SGA, they have…Jamal Murray,

So Calipari also had a strong foothold on Canadian players as well.

Man, as a UK fan, we are in for a rude awakening.

Will we see any country beating USA in gold medals race in these Olympics?

Last Olympics, it took until the very last day for team USA to pass China for the top spot.
So I think team China will still be the biggest competitors for team USA.
Besides China, there's Great Britain and also the host France, that I think can make a major leap in medal tally.

for Japan...at best I hope we can stand at the top 5-7, or at worst we remains at the top 10 standings 🙂
