This afternoon, France will look to become the fourth country to capture the Olympic gold medal in men’s basketball, joining the United States (16 times), Soviet Union (1972, 1988), and Argentina (2004).
In their corner will be... me.
That’s right. I will be rooting against Team USA out of spite, after the sheer amount of negativity that this Olympic run has sent toward Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown. The Celtics’ star-wing duo has received unreasonable amounts of criticism and ridicule over the last month, despite winning an NBA title back in June.
