The 2024 Paris Olympics have opened. There are 12 teams in men's basketball in which the U.S. Dream team participates.

NBA's leading players will all participate on behalf of their country. The U.S. is likely to win, but there are many variables. The U.S. has played five warm-up matches and won all five games. However, the team beat South Sudan, Australia, and Germany.

CBS Sports announced the top 30 players in men's basketball at the Paris Olympics on the 26th (Korea time).



It is not just a judgment based on players' skills. It is a ranking that considers not only skills but also the weight of the team.

First place is Serbia's Nikola Jokic. He is Serbia's absolute ace. The NBA's best big man. He is the player with the highest proportion in the team.



Second place is Yannis Antetokounmpo of Greece. In fact, Luka Doncic could be listed as the top-ranked player. He is the absolute ace leading Slovenia. However, Slovenia cannot participate in this Olympics.

Not only is Antetokounmpo the best forward in the NBA, but he also has an absolute weight in Greece.



The third is Shai Gilzer Alexander of Canada. Canada is made up of players from the NBA. However, the weight of Gilgeous Alexander does not decrease. The media outlet said that `Canada's roster is solid, but Shai Gilzer Alexander is the ace who has the best breakthrough power of the tournament.'

American Dream players did not make the top three. There are so many players who are good at it. The weight of the team is relatively low.

Fourth place is LeBron James. Kevin Durant couldn't play the warm-up match properly due to injury. James was the clutch situation ace in the warm-up. In particular, he showed outstanding dominance in matches against South Sudan and Germany. In particular, the under-the-goal breakthrough with strong power was very powerful.

Anthony Davis came in fifth. In five warm-up matches, Davis was mainly a backup member, but his presence was strong. In particular, he showed off his clear presence in vertical defense and mismatched defense. Along with the snake Adebayo, there is also an impact that dominates the basket.
