Rickey Rubio, a Spaniard, was chosen as the leader of the match, who had exceeded the limit of 20 points in only one team match before the Tokyo Olympics. In Tokyo, the Spaniard scored 38 points against the US national team. Throughout the tournament, he stood out with an average of 25.5 points and six assists
Pete Milz, the winner of the Olympic bronze medal in the Australian national team, was chosen as the attacking defender. In the bronze match against Slovenia, the Giant stood out with 42 points and nine assists, which also set the winning cups in favor of Australia.
Slovenian Dončič is in the third place in the team, although he plays as the first and second number. Dončič stood out in Tokyo with the first “triple-double” at the Olympics since 2012, scoring 16 points in the semi-finals, making 18 assists and winning ten rebounds. The tournament averages also approached him “triple-double”: 23.8 points, 9.7 rebounds and 9.5 assists.
The position of the fourth number in the symbolic team is occupied by the leader of the USA national team Durent, who became the Olympic champion. He scored 29 points in the final against France. Durent now holds three Olympic golds, as well as the title of Most Valuable Player or MVP in Tokyo.
The position of the center in the symbolic five is reserved for the Frenchman Rudy Gober. The outstanding defensive player in the Olympic final against the US team was the most productive in his team – 16 points and eight balls under the baskets.
