THE 2024 PARIS OLYMPICS MBB SQUAD IS HERE. 🇨🇦🤩
•
Canada’s first Olympic men’s basketball team since 2000 includes 10 NBA players, a record for any nation other than the U.S. 👀
•
The team is headlined by a backcourt tandem: Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, an All-NBA First Teamer for the Oklahoma City Thunder, and Jamal Murray, the point guard for the 2023 NBA champion Denver Nuggets. 💪
•
The other NBA players are Nickeil Alexander-Walker (Minnesota Timberwolves), R.J. Barrett (Toronto Raptors), Dillon Brooks (Houston Rockets), Luguentz Dort (Thunder), Trey Lyles (Sacramento Kings), Andrew Nembhard (Indiana Pacers), Kelly Olynyk (Raptors) and Dwight Powell (Dallas Mavericks). 🤯
•
Khem Birch and Melvin Ejim, who each play professionally in Spain, are also on the team. 👏
•
Canada will break the record for most NBA players on a non-American Olympic roster held by Nigeria, which had eight NBA players at the Tokyo Games.
•
We're so stoked for this squad! 🙌
