LeBron and Curry Inspire USA to Victory…
The 2024 USA Men’s Olympic Basketball Team could’ve been mistaken for a squad of superheroes, with LeBron James leading the way alongside Stephen Curry and Kevin Durant. They faced a titanic showdown against Serbia, led by three-time MVP Nikola Jokic, on August 8, 2024. The Americans were down by as many as 17 points before LeBron and Curry began an epic comeback. Curry morphed into a human flamethrower, raining down 3-pointers while LeBron drove through the Serbian defense as if parting the Red Sea, eventually tying the game. Curry then hit one more 3-pointer to put Team USA ahead 87-84, and they held on for a thrilling 95-91 win.
Curry was in another stratosphere, finishing with an astronomical 36 points including nine jaw-dropping 3-pointers. LeBron dazzled the crowd with a triple-double of 16 points, 12 rebounds, and 10 assists, proving he could multitask better than a busy mom during back-to-school season. Meanwhile, Joel Embiid had a standout performance with 19 points. In the gold medal game against France, the duo of LeBron and Curry continued their superheroics, with LeBron contributing 14 points, 10 assists, and an MVP award, while Curry sent the French defense home sobbing with eight more 3-pointers, icing a 98-87 victory. It’s a basketball spectacle that will be told and retold like a grand fishing story for ages to come!
