In recent years, France has established itself as the second greatest basketball nation in the world behind the United States, a status that fans would like to see confirmed on the courts.

In the meantime, Draymond Green has made a blunt assessment of the level of our selection.

Draymond Green is not in Paris for the Olympic Games, but he is still following it very closely.

It must be said that his point guard Stephen Curry is realizing a childhood dream by participating in his first Olympics, which must warm the heart of this other Warriors legend.

If the Chief returns in shape and with gold, he will be in good shape to carry his franchise.

Moreover, the former Defender of the Year must like what he sees on the court for the moment, since Team USA qualified for the knockout phase without trembling, without forcing, and all while traveling between Paris and Lille for each game.

The fatigue of the trip was offset by the tranquility of the matches.

Draymond Green would have liked to see Team USA / France
On the other hand, there is something that visibly frustrates Draymond Green.

He would have liked to see his compatriots face France, to set the record straight about the supposed French invasion in the NBA.

Beating the Blues in front of their fans, who are also on the road to a gold medal, would have been a real feat.

I would have really liked Team USA to face and beat France in Paris, it would have been great to see.

I played in the last two Olympic Games, and I realized something.

The French are starting to act like they are capable of overtaking our United States team.

They think they are at the same level as us and that is not realistic.

A two-time Olympic champion, Draymond Green was able to observe the French team in Rio and Tokyo. According to him, the Blues would have more and more confidence in their abilities, and they would even believe they could beat Team USA.

It’s hard to prove him wrong on this level, since the executives have been expressing their desire to win gold in Paris for many years.

The Warriors’ center would have liked to see his friends humble Victor Wembanyama and his teammates, in front of their supporters.

It’s sadistic, but if we rely on the latest performances of the Blues, Draymond’s wish is likely to come true fairly quickly.

Unless the group suddenly discovers a chemistry.

Draymond Green, as he explained in his podcast, doesn’t really like French arrogance.

He knows that Team USA is still well ahead of the Blues, and he would have liked to have confirmation of this on the field.
