“Tough” boomers take on Puerto Rico ahead of Paris games
Australia got bronze in the last Summer Olympics, and they want to be tough once again as the Boomers prepare for their games.
Captained by 35-year-old Patty Mills, an NBA champion with the San Antonio Spurs, Australia upset Serbia in Abu Dhabi, before just falling short of a comeback against a loaded Team USA.
FIBA Patty Mills, always standing out in international basketball, is joined by Dallas Maverick Dante Exum, another baller with a taste for international basketball, and OCK’s Josh Giddey.
Despite a stacked roster, Australia remains an underdog in Group A of the Paris Olympics, where Giannis’ Greece and SGA’s Canada look like strong candidates.
The role of underdog is familiar to Los Gallos, who were considered underdogs in their own San Juan OQT Tournament in Puerto Rico. Head Coach Nelson Colòn, once in the stands for Puerto Rico’s last qualification for the Olympics in 2024.
They defied all odds, getting past Italy before ending Lithuania’s Olympic dreams with a fantastic defensive performance, fuelled by 13 thousand roaring Puerto Rico fans.
Alvarado, Tremont Waters, and George Conditt IV are leading a team that is as tough as they get, and will make sure to let Australia know as well.
Matched with 2023 FIBA World Cup runner-up Serbia (who added Nikola Jokic for the Olympics) and an incredible Team USA, Puerto Rico will be underdogs again in Group C. With a mountain to climb, Los 12 Magnificos are daring anyone to underestimate them. Again.
20 years later, they leave for the Olympics again. That year, they stunned the world, defeating Tim Duncan, Allen Iverson, a young LeBron James and Dwyane Wade in one of their history’s biggest pages.
Will Puerto Rico surprise the world again? And should we really be surprised if that happens?
