With the Olympics about to begin, I hope you enjoy this exclusive behind-the-scenes look at how the South Sudanese national team made it to Paris and used basketball to unite a divided country.

@betwithjoel Men lie, women lie, numbers don't.

Very cool story from Josh Giddey, in case you missed it, about Caris LeVert being the first NBA player to believe in him all the way back in 2018.

Ahead of his NBL debut, Kai Sotto opens up about how he deals with pressure, which NBA players he compares his game to, and how he plans to change the game in the Philippines.

New story comparing @Patty_Mills' clutch gene to the all-time greats.

It features original clutch stats I had to manually extract from play-by-plays, as well as interviews with @AndrewGaze10, @ShaneHeal, @BradNewley and @DysonDaniels.

@ASternWarning Haha focus was on NBA players due to BF's USA-heavy/international audience, but good call Nick Kay is the man.

@OlgunUluc And here was me thinking Pau & Scola were the biggest post-Olympic retirement announcements!

[Nick Jungfer @nickjungfer]

@LachieEverett I actually pushed for him to be included but the big boss argued that he'll ride the bench at most in 2024, as Boomers rookies tend to.

Waking up to see Boomers vs USA on the schedule.

Classic Matisse Thybulle 👀

Bring on Australia-Argentina. You'd have to suspect there's more where this came from #BigGameBala

[Nick Jungfer @nickjungfer]

The Boomers will need to beat Team USA for a chance at gold or silver, provided they take care of Argentina. At least now, unlike any Olympics of the past, they have the confidence of knowing it wouldn't be the first time (or even the second) that they've beaten the Americans.

@FelixHofe Imagine coming from a long line of Losers

[Nick Jungfer @nickjungfer]

We've got the makings of quite a team here.
