MANILA, Philippines — Barring any major hiccup, the retooled Team USA is poised to reign supreme in the Paris Olympics for its fifth straight gold.
LA Lakers guard Austin Reaves, member of the Team USA squad that settled for fourth in the 2023 FIBA World Cup in Manila, has this belief in his compatriots’ capability to regain foothold of the world basketball order in the ongoing Summer Games.
“I really like their chances. Their talent is second to none,” said Reaves, who was unveiled as the newest ambassador of Arena Plus at the Shangri-La The Fort yesterday.
“If they’ll continue to play alongside each other the right way, build the chemistry and trust one another, I don’t think anybody can beat them,” he added.
