Team USA and Team Canada will face off on Wednesday during an exhibition match prior to the upcoming Paris Olympics.
This will give NBA fans a chance to see some of the biggest stars face off against each other.
Dillon Brooks of Team Canada sounds ready to play, according to a new quote from Bleacher Report.
In typical Brooks fashion, the Houston Rockets star sent a warning to Team USA.
After admitting that the Americans have a lot of great players, Brooks said, “Yeah, well, they gotta guard. They gotta play defense.”

It’s not surprising to hear Brooks talk trash before the Olympics.
The man has made a name for himself as one of the toughest hotheads in the league and that won’t change in Paris.
Team USA is definitely loaded with a slew of great players such as LeBron James, Steph Curry, Anthony Davis, Anthony Edwards, Joel Embiid, Jayson Tatum, and others.
But Team Canada is also stacked this year, featuring Brooks, Jamal Murray, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, RJ Barrett, and more.
Team Canada did really well during last summer’s FIBA World Cup and actually performed better than the Americans.
Of course, Team USA looks very different now and they have made sure to create a historic lineup.
But Brooks is right when he says the Americans will have to play a lot of strong defense.
Canada has multiple sharpshooting players who may cause headaches for Team USA.
While most people believe the US team has the best chance of winning a gold medal, Brooks and his teammates are going to fight hard to make sure that doesn’t happen.
