Former Toronto Raptors guard Dennis Schroder had a strong showing at the 2024 Paris Olympics.

He led Germany to a 4-0 start at the tournament, but they lost to France and Serbia to finish fourth and off the podium.

Schroder’s efforts earned his first-team honors along with Team USA’s Stephen Curry, LeBron James, France’s Victor Wembanyama and Serbia’s Nikola Jokic :

Schroder proved to be one of the best players at the tournament. He averaged 17.2 points, 7.5 assists, and 2.5 rebounds in 6 games.

Canada’s Shai Gilgeous-Alexander earned second-team honors. Canada had a disappointing tournament as they fell to France in the quarterfinals and did not win a medal. Gilgeous-Alexander finished second in scoring at the Olympics, averaging 21.0 points on 54 percent shooting from the field to go along with 4.0 assists per game.

Gilgeous-Alexander was joined by Greece’s Giannis Antetokounmpo who was the tournament’s scoring champion, Serbia’s Bogdan Bogdanovic, Germany’s Franz Wagner and France’s Guerschon Yabusele:

Serbia’s Aleksa Avramovic earned the FIBA Best Defensive Player honor, averaging 1.7 steals per game on route to winning the bronze-medal with Serbia.

France’s Vincent Collet won the best coach honor for his outstanding coaching efforts at the tournament.

Josh Hart makes fun of former Raptors wing O.G. Anunoby

Recently, Jalen Brunson was named the New York Knicks’ team captain. This resulted in his teammates collaborating on a video to congratulate him.

O.G. Anunoby made a cameo where he showed half of his face and spoke for only two seconds. This prompted his teammate Josh Hart to take to X to make fun of Anunoby’s appearance in this video.
