France will do everything to win Olympic gold this summer, when the competition will take place in Paris. The group formed by Vincent Collet has also been scrutinized in the United States, with a famous American site giving a big verdict on this subject.
Obviously, Team USA will be the favorite for the Paris Olympic Games. The competition has made up a large part of its delay in recent years, but the American selection will see monsters like LeBron James, Stephen Curry or even Kevin Durant return in the US jersey. That being said, the French team intends to spoil the party for them on its own lands and ascend the throne in their place.
In the United States, we are also well aware of the danger posed by the Blues, especially after Victor Wembanyama’s rookie campaign. Following the announcement of the preliminary list, Vincent Collet’s men have already been the subject of big discussions among American fans. But the CltuchPoints site has gone even further since it warns everyone: France has the weapons to win Olympic gold.

France has a chance.
Rudy Gobert is a 4-time Defensive Player of the Year and a 7-time All-Defensive team member. He’s 1 of 3 players ever to win the award 4 times.

France has a chance to win the Olympic title. Rudy Gobert is a four-time Defender of the Year and a seven-time All-Defensive team member. He is one of only three players to have won the DPOY four times. Pair him with Victor Wembanyama, the first rookie in NBA history to be elected to an All-Defensive First Team. Wemby also finished 2nd in voting for Defender of the Year this season and seems assured of winning the DPOY in the near future.
This is what the rest of the world will have to face when they travel to Paris this summer, and face Team France at the 2024 Olympic Games. France has experienced veterans in Evan Fournier, Nicolas Batum and Nando from Colo. They will have youth with Wemby and Bilal Coulibaly. They will also be able to count on the 2023 French champions Elie Okobo and Matthew Strazel.
They may not have headliners like LeBron James or Steph Curry, but the Blues have a team that can certainly make some noise this summer. With the advantage of its audience every evening and many players participating in their last Olympic Games, the French men’s basketball team is seeking its 4th Olympic medal in men’s 5×5 basketball and its very first medal Golden. Summer 2024 is going to be a movie.
Team USA remains the big favorite for the tournament, especially when we see which squad will go to the Paris Olympics. But the French team is clearly not taken lightly by the American media, starting with ClutchPoints who praised the Blues.
