Star-studded Paris Olympics quarterfinal, all with Game 7 feel

[Tedday2223]

PARIS — There are NBA champions, All-Star selections and award winners all over the men’s basketball quarterfinals at the Paris Olympics 2024. And if that wasn’t enough, all four matchups will have a Game 7 feel. This is it. The most decisive day of the Olympic men’s tournament is Tuesday, where eight teams will enter, four teams will be eliminated, and the four surviving clubs will be one big step closer toward their goal of leaving France with a medal. The quarterfinal games: the four-time defending gold medalist Team USA vs. Brazil; Canada vs. France in a showdown of pre-tournament medal favorites; reigning World Cup champion Germany vs. Greece; and Serbia vs. Australia. Every game features at least one NBA champion, one MVP winner or finalist and at least one perennial All-Star (or in Team USA’s case, about 10 perennial All-Stars). “The guys, I think, are well prepared for it,” Team USA coach Steve Kerr said. “They’ve done a great job of not only preparing on the floor but adapting to these weird circumstances of having 12 starters in the NBA adjust to being a 12-man team here and some guys playing certain nights, not playing other nights. They’ve all really committed to the goal. And the goal is within sight now.” There are 15 current or former All-Stars still in the Olympic field with a combined 97 selections among them; most are from the U.S., along with Greece’s Giannis Antetokounmpo, Serbia’s Nikola Jokic, France’s Rudy Gobert and Canada’s Shai Gilgeous-Alexander.​
