Is Team USA confident it can defeat all comers and win gold at the 2024 Summer Olympics?
Regardless of which player ends up grabbing more rebounds or picking up more assists for Team USA, Skip Bayless noted on a recent episode of “Undisputed” that the U.S. could face some challenges in Paris.
According to Bayless, international competition is “a different kind of basketball.”
“You have to find the same chemistry very quickly that other teams already have, because these teams have literally grown up together,” Bayless said.
“They are not afraid of Americans because they play in the NBA and at a high level.”
