The men’s basketball tournament at the Olympic Games in Paris 2024 will make sure that fans both at home and in person at venues can witness star power like never before.
The honorable mentions are already huge: FIBA Basketball World Cup 2023 MVP Dennis Schroder, Puerto Rico’s leader Jose Alvarado, Japanese sensation Rui Hachimura, Brazil’s dominant frontcourt asset Bruno Caboclo, and a lot more.
Heading to this summer’s Olympic Games, however, there are 10 players you can’t miss on. Here’s the full list with NBA superstars keeping club competitions out of their minds only for a few weeks, fully focusing on securing an unforgettable medal in Paris 2024.
Nikola Jokic – Serbia
Serbia got the job done at the FIBA Basketball World Cup 2023 despite not having Nikola Jokic ready to play, finishing 2nd only behind the World Champs of Germany.
However, it’s undeniable that the Joker isn’t only a show-stealer on the court, but also an unrepleaceble mechanism in the Serbian national team’s offensive flow engine.
Yet to conquer a success with his national team, he still brought home a silver medal in the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, when he didn’t have such a superstar status. Eight years in the making, he wants to add an Olympic gold medal to his already legendary resume.
