In a thrilling turn of events at the FIBA World Cup, Canada has secured a ticket to the Paris 2024 Olympic Games by defeating reigning champions Spain in a nail-biting game, with a final score of 88-85.
The pivotal victory was fueled by a big-time performance by Knicks point guard RJ Barrett, who contributed 16 points and 5 rebounds.
After the intense game, Barrett’s elation was evident as he addressed the media. With an infectious smile, he exclaimed, “We’re going to the Olympics, baby! Man! That’s crazy. You know, this is good. I told my dad I was gonna get there. I’m happy. Let’s go.”
The last time that Canada played in the Olympics was back in 2000 in Sydney, Australia.
