The United States has dominated Olympic basketball since the event was added as a medal sport in 1936. They have participated 19 times and won 16 of them. Including other basketball events, the United States has won 25 gold medals; the Soviet Union is second with four.
Despite having a strong basketball culture, France has yet to win an Olympic gold medal in the sport. It came close to winning silver in 1948, 2000 and 2020, but each time the United States outplayed France, adding even more spice to this year’s final.
At the time of writing, oddsmakers see Team USA as the favorite to win the gold medal with a 16-point advantage (FanDuel).
