Meet Gordon Herbert, the Canadian genius behind team Germany 

Canadian basketball might get carried away by the excitement of reaching the pinnacle of the world stage in the form of the Paris Olympics. 

Indeed, the men’s team announced itself as a candidate for the gold after clinching the bronze in the last World Cup, and despite some struggles in their tuneup games, the women’s side earned its right to contend with a fourth place finish in the 2022 World Cup and the bronze in the 2023 FIBA AmeriCup. The men are currently 1-0 in the Olympics, while the women are yet to play.
