Of course, the first place was the U.S. Canada came in second place. Third place was France.

Japan ranked 11th out of 12 teams.

CBS Sports in the U.S. ranked the teams that participated in the 2024 Paris Olympics.



Of course, the top spot was the United States.

This national team is meaningful. LeBron James Pan 'Last Dance' The U.S. was sluggish in the 2023 Basketball World Cup, which is made up of top NBA prospects. I failed to win the championship.



LeBron James, who is in his twilight years, targeted the Paris Olympics as his last national team member. He persuaded numerous superstars, and eventually, top NBA stars such as Stephen Curry, Anthony Davis and Kevin Durant were confirmed to join.

After all, the 12-member roster of the U.S. national team is considered the best dream team of all time. Joel Embiid, one of the best centers in the NBA at the peak of the fire dragon, chose the U.S. national team instead of France, further strengthening the team's power.



General manager Grant Hill, coach Steve Kerr, coach Eric Spolstra (Miami coach), and Los Angeles Clippers coach Turon Roux made up the coaching staff.

Gilzer Alexander was the league's best shooting guard as an ace for the Oklahoma City Thunder last season. to the extent that he was named in the MVP competition. Here is Denver's main ball handler Jamal Murray, with RJ Barrett, Dillon Brooks and Nikale Alexander-Walker as the main players. There is a weakness that there is no strong big man, but it is a power that deserves to be called No. 2.

Third place is France. There is Victor Wembanyama, a monster rookie. There's Rudy Gobert, too. It's the best in terms of double posts. The outer resources are unstable, but it is the strongest level of power in Europe. He has also advanced to the finals at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.

Germany, the winner of last year's Basketball World Cup, is in fourth place. It boasts strong organizational power centered on Orlando ace Franz Wagner and main ball handler Dennis Schroeder.

Serbia, where NBA's biggest man Nikola Jokic is holding out, ranked fifth, and Australia, which beat Slovenia, where Luka Doncic endured, at the Tokyo Olympics, ranked sixth. Janis Antetokounmpo's Greece ranks seventh, Spain ranks eighth, Puerto Rico ranks ninth, and Brazil ranks 10th.

Japan is ranked 11th. The media outlet said that Japan had the best performance as an Asian team at the last World Cup. It belongs to a very tough group B. He is in the same group with France, Germany and Brazil, and he is aiming for one win in the tournament.
