Basketball took long strides when it became a global sport in 1992. The ‘Dream Team’ revolution started it all. Michael Jordan, Magic, Larry Bird, and other NBA superstars stepped on the Olympic stage as one unit. Fans were awe-struck, rivals took pictures before games and the team demolished everyone. The buzz around the Olympics has walked around the same wavelengths ever since. Team USA remains the favorite, but other nations are stepping up. One of those dreaming are Kyle Anderson and China.

Anderson was born in New York and raised all his life in the United States of America. It might seem peculiar as to how or why he is representing China. In 2018, the Anderson family made their first trip to the South Asian country. They had discovered their lineage lay there.

Upon exploration, they reunited with their long-lost relatives and community. Upon learning the traditions and feeling the love, Anderson had his vision clear – he wanted to play for China. The ultimate vision remains the 2024 Paris Olympics.

Kyle Anderson wants to achieve gold for China at the 2024 Olympics

The Pari Olympics is the biggest basketball event of the calendar year. Since Team USA’s upset at the FIBA World Cup, several NBA players have declared their interest in representing the team in Paris. LeBron James, Kevin Durant, Stephen Curry, and names of such magnitude are among those shortlisted.

This is probably the first time it has ever been so competitive. Many nations have caught up to the game. Additionally, their camaraderie playing with one another for years at a stretch is different from that of the NBA, where these names fight against one another.

Despite that Team USA hasn’t relinquished their status, winning gold ever since the Redeem Team. However, we are in an era of upsets. Maybe this is the year the kings fall. Kyle Anderson, an NBA forward is hoping it’s him and China who take their throne.

After discovering his roots and even getting citizenship for the country, Kyle Anderson revealed his dream is for him and his teammates to be presented with gold medals at the forthcoming Paris Olympics. Anderson’s mother spoke of the optimism that has developed since her son helped China top the Olympic qualifying group and book a ticket to Paris.

“Throughout his NBA career Kyle takes one game at a time understanding like the task at hand so that he can achieve what he needs to do for us to get to Paris. The gold medal is there for the taking,” she said in CloseUp360’s Kyle Anderson’s “Chinese Destiny”.
