Basketball fever takes over the Paris Olympics with Australia dominating Spain and Wemby showcasing his skills for France!

The excitement of the Paris 2024 Olympics has gripped basketball fans around the globe, particularly in Canada. The Australian men's basketball team, affectionately known as the Boomers, kicked off their Olympic journey with a stunning 92-80 victory over Spain. Coach Brian Goorjian found inspiration in the past, rallying his team to channel the spirit of Australian grit as they faced off against the seasoned Spanish squad. With Josh Giddey nearly achieving a triple-double, this Australian team has proven they're ready to contend for the gold in what promises to be an electrifying tournament.

Meanwhile, all eyes were also on Victor Wembanyama, the French basketball phenom, who made his Olympic debut on home soil. The towering 20-year-old impressed spectators and opponents alike as he propelled France to a convincing 78-66 victory over Brazil. Wembanyama's performance was nothing short of spectacular, contributing 19 points along with nine rebounds and four steals. It seems someone forgot to send him the memo about Olympic jitters – he played like a seasoned pro and certainly drew comparisons to NBA greats from the very start.

The tournament saw the likes of Greece and Germany join the fray, showcasing their basketball prowess. Just as Australia was heading for victory, teams from around the world prepared to show their skills on the Olympic stage. With Canada also in the mix, Canadians have a lot to cheer for as they root for their men's team in hopes of bringing home a medal. The competition is heating up, and the stakes are higher than ever, making it an exciting time for basketball aficionados.

As the action continues in Paris, fans will witness some of the world's best players battling it out on the hardwood. With not just the aim for gold, but also national pride at stake, every dribble, pass, and shot will keep us on the edge of our seats. Whether you're Team Boomers, rooting for Wemby and the French squad, or cheering on Canada, it's clear that the 2024 Olympics will be a basketball showdown to remember.

Fun fact: Victor Wembanyama stands at an impressive 7 feet 2 inches, making him one of the tallest players in the game! Additionally, this marks Australia's third consecutive Olympics where they have fielded a competitive men's basketball team, and they're itching for their first medal, which would fulfill a long-standing dream!
