Great overview, Chris, and exactly what "Basketball Empire: France and the Making of a Global NBA and WNBA" (Bloomsbury, 2023) gets at in taking the deeper dive into how and why France became a main pipeline to the North American leagues (haha and predicted the gold medal matchups). Happy to chat further. Game on!
I love this post so much! It is so fun to see happy French NBA players and Olympians, too!
