    The French national basketball team took on Turkey in an exhibition game Wednesday in hopes of preparing itself for the Paris Summer Olympics, which start Friday, July 26 in Paris, France.

    France took on a Turkish national squad that proved to be overmatched based on first-half results, which included a phenomenal dunk and other plays by former number one overall draft pick Victor Wembanyama of the San Antonio Spurs.

    Courtside highlights showed off the French team's phenomenal passing while Wembanyama got in on the action with a reverse dunk.

    Fans spoke about the French team possibly being a problem for the United States this season, considering they have both Wembanyama and reigning Defensive Player of the Year Rudy Gobert on their team.
