Team USA Basketball begins their quest for the gold medal at the 2012 London Olympic Games in earnest on Sunday morning, when they face Tony Parker and the French in an opening round Group A battle. The game can be seen live on NBC Sports Network or streamed on NBCOlympics.com.
Team USA will be heavy favorites against the French, despite the presence of several NBA players to go along with Parker on Team France. Boris Diaw, Ronny Turiaf and the Washington Wizards own blossoming big man Kevin Seraphin will certainly be familiar with their American counterparts, but the roster talent differential is simply too great for the French to overcome.
Here is what you need to know for Sunday's game:
Game Day/Time: Sunday, July 29, 9:30 a.m. EST
Location: Olympic Park Basketball Arena, London, England
Television Coverage: NBC Sports Network
