Who will be receiving the highest honor and represent their country?
The 2024 Paris Olympics is almost here and plenty of Zags will be representing their respective countries. The opening ceremony will be on July 26th. That Group A consisting of Australia, Greece, Canada, and Spain is no picnic for anyone.

Domantas Sabonis and Lithuania fell to Jose Alvarado and Puerto Rico in the FIBA qualify tournament which means they will not be invited to the Paris Olympics. Joel Ayayi and Killian Tillie didn’t make the cut for the French national team. Brandon Clarke, Kyle Wiltjer, and Kevin Pangos didn’t make the cut for the Canadian national team as well.
