Argentina is one of the favorites to get one of the two tickets for Rio 2016 Olympic Games that will be granted at FIBA (International Basketball Federation) 2015 Americas Championship, currently held in Mexico City.
Some of the players of the so called "Golden Generation" are still part of the Argentine squad seeking to obtain the Olympic qualification.
Argentina, led by Sergio Hernandez, expects to play its fourth consecutive Olympic Games. In 2004 they surprised everybody by winning gold medal, four years after they won bronze and in London 2012 they ended fourth.
Some of the players from that time and that will play Americas Championship are Andres Nocioni and Luis Scola.
The younger players include Facundo Campazzo and Nicolas Laprovittola, who have international experience.
At Toronto 2015 Pan-American Games, Argentina ended in fifth position and could not qualify to second round. Argentina was defeated by Mexico and Canada and won against Dominican Republic.
