The USA is competing for gold at the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris, especially after victories in gymnastics and the national basketball team advancing to the quarterfinals.
The American basketball team, which includes Bam Adebayo, Devin Booker, Stephen Curry, Anthony Davis, Kevin Durant, Anthony Edwards, Joel Embiid, Tyrese Haliburton, Jrue Holiday, LeBron James, Jason Tatum, and Derrick White, is close to the final prize. The team won twice, with a high score of 110:84 against Serbia and a victory with a score of 103:86 against South Sudan.
This team consists of some of the most well-known NBA athletes in the country. The USA is not only known for its players but also for being the country with the most wins in basketball tournaments, with a total of 16 Olympic gold medals. The world knows that it means more than just a game for 39-year-old Lakers player LeBron James. This year marks his fourth time participating in the games, and he expressed in his Instagram post: «Victory is not just a game for me! @olympics #VictoryIsNotForEveryone #Paris2024».
LeBron noted in a press conference earlier this month: «We want to play for each other. I have 11 other guys next to me that I want to play for, and vice versa. Our only goal is to win the gold medal for Team USA».
During an interview earlier this month, he reflected on what basketball has done for him and how he became the oldest basketball player at the Olympics this year. «I hope it’s not just a conversation about basketball… what I do in our community and the people I inspire around the world is what I want my legacy to speak to… Basketball has definitely given me the opportunity to see parts of the world and do things I couldn’t even imagine or do without it. But if my legacy only speaks about basketball, then I’ve failed my mission, so let’s see», - he told the publication.
The team will play their next game against La Isla Del Encanto, also known as Puerto Rico
