Last summer, French star Fournier received a four-year total $73 million deal, and although he has not been able to play in the Knicks this season to match his value, this does not affect the outside world's evaluation of Fournier on the international stage. From Pietrus successfully took over the title of "France" Jordan, the most recent World Cup + Olympic Games, two consecutive major competitions to play superstar level performance, Fournier's name is known to more and more basketball fans.
But don't forget, even so, Fournier still can't shake Parker's position in the French basketball world, the latter once led the team to win the European Men's Basketball Championship in 2013, can contribute an average of 23 points per game; during his time in the NBA, Parker has helped the Spurs win 4 championships, in the eyes of many NBA industry insiders, Parker is the signature figure of French basketball. Ignore Parker's dissuasion! Embiid will qualify for teaming up with Gobert, and Cole is going to be in trouble.
Sources from foreign media RMC, 76ers star Embiid plans to go to France to sign at the end of next month, from relevant follow-up reports to learn that Embiid has decided to join the French men's basketball team, if all goes well, Embiid will make his debut at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games. It is worth mentioning that although Embiid was born in Cameroon, because he has not officially appeared in international competitions, and the French men's basketball team currently has no naturalized players, embiid's application process will go smoothly. Some people may ask: Embiid joined the French men's basketball team, what does this matter have to do with Parker?
It is reported that Parker has made it clear in a previous interview that even if Embiid is excellent, he does not want the French men's basketball team to take shortcuts, suggesting that the French men's basketball team can continue to form a team around local players. In addition, even if he does not have the right to decide, if someone asks him, Parker will say that he does not agree with the French men's basketball team's approach and is not interested in this (recruiting Embiid). In fact, in terms of naturalized players, the French men's football team has long had successful cases, and, from a practical point of view, in order to be able to impact the Olympic gold medal at home, the French men's basketball team does have a reason to introduce Embiid. Imagine that under the FIBA rules, if there is a combination of Embiid + Gobert in the basket penalty area, the defense of the French men's basketball team will become very terrible.
Finally, talking about Kerr, as we all know, in addition to the Warriors head coach, Kerr is currently the head coach of the U.S. men's basketball team. Referring to the NBA League's current star division, most of the top ten are international players, leaving aside the single-core superstars of the national team such as Alphabet Brother, Doncic, Jokic, combined with the Spanish men's basketball team led by Gasol the year, the combination of Embiid + Gobert is bound to bring great trouble to Cole in the future. Here's a few more words, last year's Tokyo Olympics, even if the U.S. men's basketball team brought Durant, but the dominance it showed was not as good as before.
In the final analysis, the problem is the lack of top superstars, after the peak of the players led by James, Anthony and Paul, at present, no young player can take over the banner from the hands of the predecessors. I have to admit that while Kerr coaches the Warriors, he also has to prepare for his national team work in advance. Do you think the French men's basketball team can beat the American men's basketball team after getting Embiid? Feel free to leave a message in the comments section below.
