Oklahoma City Thunder star Shai Gilgeous-Alexander brings Canadian men’s team together
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has come a long way from being the youngster soaking up information on the Canadian men’s basketball team.
“I think I learned professional basketball that year. I learned a lot of terminology, the physicality of it, the speed of it, and it for sure was a kick-start to my professional career.” “He’s been the guy bringing the group together and he’s been a voice and I think that is very important, because as young as he is, he’s showing leadership and you can lead in so many different ways and him in his own way, he’s bringing this group together.”
A top-two finish among the seven Americas teams in the 32-team tournament is good enough for Canada to earn its first Olympic berth in men’s basketball since 2000, and punch a ticket to Paris 2024. Gilgeous-Alexander was one of 14 players who made a three-year commitment to the national team program in May, 2022.
