    The All-Second Team of the Men's Olympic Basketball Tournament Paris 2024 is a star-studded one.

    PARIS (France) - The Paris 2024 Olympics offered some of the best basketball games of all time. The names in the All-Star Five Second Team just confirm that statement.

    Shai Gilgeous Alexander helped Canada to a perfect 3-0 record in the Group Stage, but could not save the team against France in the Quarter-Finals. He averaged 21.0 points, 4.3 rebounds, 4.0 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.3 blocks per game at the Paris 2024 Olympics.

    Bogdan Bogdanovic was the true captain Serbia needed to finish the tournament on the podium. Through six games, he had 18.3 points, made 46.2 percent of his three-pointers, with 4.0 rebounds and 3.8 assists each night.

    Franz Wagner represents Germany in the Second Team, being their top scorer with 18.5 points per game. He also had 5.8 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 2.0 steals at this event, proving he's already a game changer, despite being just 22 years old.

    The top scorer of the Olympics was Giannis Antetokounmpo. Greece's talisman leader got 25.8 points, 6.3 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game, bringing the nation all the way from the FIBA Olympic Qualifying Tournament to the Quarter-Finals in Paris.

    The home crowd favorite made his way into the team, too. Guerschon Yabusele played an unforgettable elimination phase, getting 22 points against Canada in the Quarter-Finals, 17 against Germany in the Semis, and 20 against the USA in the Final.
