The Canada national basketball team, with talents Jamal Murray, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Dillon Brooks, and RJ Barrett, is about to embark on its Olympic trip. The 2024 Paris Olympic basketball tournament is rapidly approaching.

This Saturday, the 27th, marks the start of the men's basketball competition at the Paris Olympics 2024. The United States is the clear favourite coming into the competition, having called up all of their best players.

Even with this great squad put together, it won't be easy sailing for the Americans because some other countries have elite players that can destroy havoc on anyone. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Jamal Murray are from Canada. Giannis Antetokounmpo of Greece and Nikola Jokic of Serbia are two previous MVPs apiece.

The powerful frontcourt combination of Rudy Gobert and Victor Wembanyama represents the host nation, France.

NBA Highest Scoring Game This Season

Points are used in basketball to record the score of a game. Points can be earned by making free throws, which are worth one point, or field goals, which are for two points when made inside the three-point line or three points when made outside of it.

After a game, the team with the most points is considered to be the winner. After regulation play, if the score is still tied, one or more overtime periods are played to decide the winner.
