LeBron and Curry’s Unreal Comeback against Serbia…
The 2024 USA Men’s Olympic Basketball Team was like an all-you-can-eat buffet of talent led by LeBron James, Stephen Curry, and Kevin Durant. While expected to leave Paris with a gold medal, they faced a mountain bigger than a stack of pancakes when Nikola Jokic and Serbia challenged them on Aug 8, 2024. Trailing by 17 points, it was James and Curry who turned the late game into a fireworks show for Team USA. Curry, in particular, went on one of his sizzling shooting sprees while LeBron zipped past the Serbian defense like he was on roller skates. Team USA snatched victory from 95-91 in one of the greatest Olympic basketball games ever. Curry torched the court with 36 points and nine 3-pointers as if he thought the hoop was a hula hoop, while James recorded a triple-double. The game had fans dreaming of a Curry-James team-up in the NBA, but alas, they settled for this unforgettable Olympic showdown.
Of course, the final boss in the video game of these Olympics was the host country France, sporting the super-tall Victor Wembanyama. But with LeBron and Curry as the character duo, Team USA sealed the title with style. LeBron was crowned MVP of the tournament after his all-around game dazzled like a disco ball, while Curry iced the 98-87 victory over France with eight towering 3-pointers. Anthony Davis showed he wasn’t just a decorative plant with eight points and nine rebounds. Team USA’s win was so sparkling, it was like they painted the Eiffel Tower red, white, and blue.
