During the early hours of Monday morning, the Bahamas achieved their most significant victory in basketball history by stunning Argentina with an 82-75 victory in the FIBA Olympic pre-qualifying tournament held in Santiago Del Estero. This remarkable win now grants them an opportunity to qualify for the Olympic Games in Paris next summer, marking their debut on such a prestigious stage. Eliminating Argentina, the 2004 gold medalists, added to their impressive feat. The Bahamas' success was driven by the presence of NBA talent. Yet, the Bahamas didn't rely solely on Gordon's performance during the crucial moments of the tournament. Deandre Ayton, a fellow Suns player, played a pivotal role in guiding his country to this juncture. The imposing center exhibited a fit and dedicated demeanor while representing his nation.
