Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Canada ended the group stage of the Olympic Basketball Tournament undefeated (3-0) and are now preparing for the knockout stage. The Canadians are one of the favorites to go all the way and the NBA superstar made it clear that his team aims at nothing but the gold medal.
“Gold? Absolutely. Don’t wanna lose. 6-0,” Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, who had 20 points against Spain in Group A finale, told media afterwards.
SGA is leading the way for Canada with averages of 19.0 points, 4.0 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 1.7 steals, on 65.2 percent shooting from the field and 37.5 percent from beyond the arc. The Canadians will now face hosts France for a spot in the semi-finals of the Olympic Basketball Tournament.
