Given what we have seen from San Antonio Spurs star forward Victor Wembanyama in his rookie season in the NBA (and the fact that the 2024 Paris Olympics were held in his native France), it probably should not surprise us how much of a force Wemby was on the court on the way to helping push the French National Team to silver.
Under the Spurs star’s excellent play, Team France faced the best of the best in the world, and was competitive against the US National Team in the Olympic Men’s 5 × 5 Basketball final until late in the game. And this Team USA being compared to the 1992 Dream Team in terms of talent!
Wembanyama put up a host of highlight reel plays over the course of his time playing for Team France in Paris and prior Olympic tilts.
To see them all for yourself again (or for the first time, for that matter), check out the clip embedded above put together by the folks at the “Hoopsman” YouTube channel.
