The Mexican Basketball Team ‘The 12 Warriors’ Faces Challenge for Paris 2024 Olympic Qualification

The Mexican basketball team, better known as ‘The 12 Warriors’, needs a miracle to qualify for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, where the group of death of the United States and Serbia awaits them.

But to think about facing the ‘Dream Team’ and Nikola Jokic, ‘The 12 Warriors’ must first obtain a ticket to the Puerto Rico Pre-Olympic.

Mexico in the Puerto Rico Pre-Olympic

From July 2 to 7, Mexico is playing for its place in Paris 2024 in the Pre-Olympic Championships that will be held in San José, Puerto Rico.

In order to advance to the Summer Olympic Games, ‘The 12 Warriors’ have to defeat Ivory Coast and Lithuania to advance to the Final of their zone and face whoever emerges alive from the other group made up of Italy, Puerto Rico and Bahrain.

If Mexico is able to do that feat, it will have a place in the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, but it would be in the Group of Death along with the new ‘Dream Team’ of the United States, Nikola Jokic’s Serbia and South Sudan.

Who will form the new United States ‘Dream Team’ for Paris 2024?

Among the names that are being considered to make up the 12 members of the United States representative, some are already confirmed:

LeBron James (39 years old) will have his ‘last dance’ at the FIBA ​​level in Paris 2024 and that is why he confirmed his participation, in addition to three other star names who could also say goodbye to the United States team in these Olympic Games such as Stephen Curry (36 ) and Kevin Durant (35).

Not only are these three high-caliber veterans on the final list of the United States, as they have talent such as Joel Embiid (30 years old), NBA MVP in 2023, Jrue Holiday (33), Jayson Tatum (26) and Devin Booker (27).

There are six places left to complete the United States ‘Dream Team’ for Paris 2024 and that star-studded team would face Mexico if it wins in the Pre-Olympic.

Although the Stars and Stripes quintet is not the only ‘city’ rival, because there is also Serbia led by Nikola Jokic, NBA champion with the Denver Nuggets and two-time NBA MVP.
