Recently, the new French men's basketball captain Abussele talked about the significance of wearing a French men's basketball jersey.

Abusele said: "Just as Tony Parker said, winning an NBA championship is great, but winning a championship in the French men's basketball team is even more meaningful."

Parke led the French men's basketball team to the European Championship in 2013.

The French men's basketball team previously announced that at this year's European Championship, Abussele will serve as the captain of the team.
