You may remember the heartbreak when the Canadian Men’s National Basketball team just fell short of qualifying for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics just a few short years ago. It seems as if this team as done a complete flip from those days, now being 10-0 in the qualifying rounds of the 2023 FIBA World Cup.
