Paris Olympics Preview with Windy - Boomers hope, contenders & who can beat USA? | Aussie Hoops Hour

The 2024 Paris Olympics will feature the most stacked men's basketball tournament in its history, so ESPN's Olgun Uluc and Brian Windhorst run the rule on the big storylines to keep an eye on. The Australian Boomers have a renewed hope despite being in the group of death, Team USA looks unsurprisingly unbeatable, and there are clear medal contenders emerging.

Windy really knows his FIBA basketball and has always come off as a measured level headed analyst.

I’m simple man, i see Windhorst, I click and listen and enjoy like a fine wine.

Great pod! And even greater, that you guys talk that much about my homecountry team Germany. They don`t get the credit their deserve in general till now. Their path to winning the world cup wasn`t easy, still they won all games. Thanks for giving us some flowers:)

Since i was a huge Bulls fan through the 90s, i loved seeing Luc Longley getting his flowers by that fantastic doc australian TV put together after the last dance. Must watch, i`ve seen it at least 4-5 times till it came out..

GO Germany:)!

acting like xavier cooks was one of the most talented players left off of the 12 man squad is mental

Unless I'm missing something, Brian Windhorst is wrong when he says two groups will have two teams advance and one group will have three teams advance. 2+2+3 = 7, but we need 8 teams for the QFs. I'm pretty sure that two groups will have THREE teams advance and one group will have only TWO teams advance.

great chat! loved it.. so ready for the tournament!

Another weakness of the US, is that the team is stacked with millionaires who don't want to risk injury for a medal. These blokes will try to preserve themselves for the big show. Their talent is through the roof, but there will be brakes on their physicality and grit.

Is Olgun windy’s lovechild??? Just sayin

[iiytlrr]

Curry can turn out to be a key player for team USA

[Benjamming]

Can anyone tell me out of the 12 countries that have qualified for the Olympics... which club/ franchise or team has the most players representing there country? I have the Tasmanian Jack Jumpers, the reining 23/24 NBL championship winners coached by Scot Roth has 3 players representing. Jack McVeigh & Will Magney for Australia and Majok Deng for South Sudan.

USA basketball should have kepr the 3-year commitment. Abandoning it is a big mistake.
