Is Team USA confident they can defeat all opponents and win gold at the 2024 Summer Olympics?

Regardless of which player ends up grabbing the most rebounds or collecting the most assists for Team USA, Skip Bayless noted on a recent episode of “Undisputed” that the U.S. might face some challenges in Paris.

According to Bayless, international competition is “a different kind of basketball.”

“You have to find chemistry very quickly that these other teams already have, because these teams have literally grown up together,” Bayless said.

“They are not afraid of Americans because they play in the NBA and at a high level.”
