Players to look out for at 2024 Paris Olympics

Team USA will enter the tournament as heavy favorites with a plethora of talented stars at their disposal. The star-studded roster includes NBA MVPs LeBron James, Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant and Joel Embiid. Add to that NBA champions like Anthony Davis, Jrue Holiday and Jayson Tatum.

France has had a rocky buildup to the 2024 Paris Olympics, winning only two of their six exhibition games. The host, however, has a talented squad that includes four-time NBA Defensive Player of the Year Rudy Gobert and Rookie of the Year Victor Wembanyama.

Three-time NBA MVP and 2023 NBA champion Nikola Jokic will lead Serbia as they go in search of their first gold medal.

Team Greece will need Milwaukee Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo to be at his best if the nation has any chance of winning its first medal in basketball.

Australia's 21-year-old rising star, Josh Giddey, will be another player to keep an eye on as the tournament progresses. The Chicago Bulls guard has been phenomenal during the build-up to the Olympic Games.
