The men's basketball tournament at the Tokyo Games kicked off with an exciting match between Australia and Spain, two formidable teams with rich basketball histories.

Australia, the bronze medalist in the previous Olympics, boasts a roster filled with talent, including eight NBA players such as Josh Giddey from the Chicago Bulls. With such a strong lineup, the Aussies are once again expected to be a force to be reckoned with in this year's tournament.

Despite this, the team still carries the pride of a nation with a strong basketball heritage. This year's squad features just one NBA player but is determined to uphold Spain's reputation on the court.
