Paris 2024 – France’s unlikely heroes, Guerschon Yabusele, Isaia Cordinier, and Mathias Lessort, have carried the team to the gold-medal game, but the real question is: Can Victor Wembanyama lead Les Bleus to victory against the mighty USA?
Wembanyama, the 20-year-old phenom, has taken a step back in the knockout stages, but France needs him to step up against the Americans. He dominated in the Paris 2024 group stage, averaging 17.0 points, 10.7 rebounds, 3.0 assists, and 2.7 steals, but has since struggled, averaging just 9.0 points, 9.5 rebounds, and 4.5 assists.
The USA boasts a formidable frontcourt with Embiid, Anthony Davis, and Bam Adebayo, but Wembanyama has already shown he can handle them in the NBA, averaging 25.2 points per game in five contests. With the home crowd behind him and added motivation after Embiid’s public snub, Wembanyama has the chance to prove himself on the world stage.
A dominant performance against the USA would catapult Wembanyama to superstardom and raise questions about the top five players in the league next season. Can he rise to the challenge and lead France to gold? The world is watching.
