The Olympic Games in Paris on Sunday, July 28th, will offer Basketball fans worldwide, the first appearance of the American basketball Dream Team, including LeBron James (39).
The American basketball team has won the Olympics four times in a row and has summoned a truly star-studded line-up for this year's edition in Paris. T
Thanks to the presence of Jason Tatum, Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant, Joel Embiid and LeBron James, who will be making his first appearance in 12 years, we can once again talk about the "Dream Team".
Coach Steve Kerr took care with his team selection, and reminded everyone that the USA finished without a medal at the last two World Cups.
Serbia will face the Americans at the football stadium in Lille, which has been turned into a basketball arena for the Olympics. And so the opening game will give everyone a clue as to how the current US looks.
After all, the Serbs, led by NBA champion and three-time NBA MVP Nikola Jokic and the experienced Bogdan Bogdanovic, are also among the main favourites.
The pre-tournament exhibition game, played on July 17th in Abu Dhabi, ended with a clear USA victory (105:79), but the Serbs will certainly have learned their lesson.
