What a great ****ing game. Seeing LeBron, KD, and Curry come up in the clutch was amazing. We take these guys for granted. These are the GOATs.

LeBron is just phenomenal. Manages the game perfectly. So cerebral. Knows when to shoot and when not to. Amazing finishes on the fast breaks. Rebounding, defending jokic, etc.
Then at the end when team USA needed a bucket and LeBron had the ball in his hands he knew what to do. Be unselfish and go to Durant.

This team has so much talent.

Welp, everything had to go right for the USA in that 4th quarter. Serbia thought they had the match and slowed everything down.

Here's the thing -- USA looked old today. Lebron is almost 40. Durant looked old. Embiid looked a bit old. Davis looked old. These guys have a ton of mileage at this point.
 
LeBron with the triple double.
16 points, 12 rebounds and 10 assists.

Serbia definitely did not think they had the match. They came out gunning in the 4th and missed their shots, then they slowed it down when they realized they werent on fire anymore.

That was huge.
So I was expecting a USA free throw from the foul and counting the bucket.

Instead the USA got a 6 point play right?

Anyone know what happened here?
Durant hit the three and they called a foul on Serbia and they counted the 3 by Durant and then gave USA the ball out of bounds and Booker hit a 3. Biggest sequence of the game imo.

Are the rules different in the Olympics than NBA or something? I figured the bucket would count and USA would get 1 free throw for a 4 point possession. Instead they got a 6 point possession.

The stage was set in the first 90 seconds of the fourth quarter. Captain LeMerica went in dad mode, was pounding the ball in transition. Rattled off three team fouls -- bang, bang, bang. Once they got Jokic his fourth foul, the team was scrambling. Before then, you could see that Serbia had their hearts in their throat the second Lebron was back in the 4th quarter.

America got within 5, 6, in the 3rd. -- that horrendous bench rotation nearly lost them the game. I don't think they win this game without Embiid, and Curry of course -- but when the moment got tough, the whole world knew who to look to.

Undisputed greatest of all time, there will never be another like him.

I bet there are a lot of LeBron haters, who also think of themselves as patriots, who are sad that USA won.

They were so excited to start hating on LeBron and "today's NBA players"

I think Durant is the best player in the world at getting a good look against any defense/defender.

I was watching in the break room at work when the US needed a bucket at the end and was telling everyone they should go to Durant. He just casually rises up with that long body and long arms and easily sinks the long 2 like it's nothing.

I was pumped for this game. Felt almost like a jazz playoff game to me

There were. And it made me laugh.

How much would USA have had to be down by going into the 4th for you to think it was over? Insanely dumb for the haters to think it's only 13.

I think it would have to be 20 for me to really think no shot.
