Is Team USA a lock to blow out every opponent and win gold at the 2024 Summer Olympics?

Regardless of which player ends up posting the most boards or racking up the most assists for Team USA, Skip Bayless noted on a recent episode of “Undisputed” that the United States could face some challenges in Paris.

And that’s because, according to Bayless, international competition is “just a different flavor of basketball.”

“Very quickly, you have to find a chemistry that these other squads already have because these other squads have literally grown up together,” Bayless said.

“They ain’t afraid of no Americans because they play in the NBA, they play at a high level.”
