He added : “I’m neither surprised nor angry by his decision, because from a basketball fan’s point of view, the USA roster will be something incredible. Perhaps comparable to 1992’s ‘Dream Team’ gold medalist (Jordan, Magic, Bird), or 2008, the “Redeem Team” also gold medalists (Lebron, Kobe, Wade), but you don’t see that very often.” Batum also underlined that Joël Embiid had been at the initiative of recent contacts with the French Basketball Federation which had led to his express naturalization in July 2022. He specified: “I hadn’t spent much time convincing him, because he was the one who came to us.”
