Team USA nearly escaped against South Sudan, earning a narrow 1-point win after LeBron James’ game-winner.
Anthony Davis had an interesting reason why Team USA performed poorly. And it had nothing to do with the game itself 🙄

Tonight’s game was a great warning for Team USA ahead of the Olympics. If they will not have the right approach, they will be in trouble. South Sudan showed a lot of great things. Most importantly, how pivotal both LeBron and… Kevin Durant are for Team USA. #USABMNT #Paris2024 – 5:04 PM

LeBron, KD, Steph and Jrue already had 29,994 NBA points between them by July 9, 2011 — the day that South Sudan officially became an independent state.
And South Sudan is up 18-16 with 3:20 left in the first. – 3:19 PM

ClutchPoints: Reporter: “[It was] almost a miracle win for South Sudan, but you managed to stay there. What was the key for [Team USA]?” Anthony Edwards: “LeBron James.” (via @cesaremilanti) pic.twitter.com/BJPaVbg2lD -via Twitter @ClutchPointsApp / July 20, 2024
“Do you have any doubt about who’s going to win the gold medal? Joel Embiid: I mean, you look at the talent that the US has, but I mean, there’s also equal time on other teams. And the talent that’s on the US team, you also got to understand that most of those guys are also older. LeBron now is not the LeBron that was a couple of years ago. So it’s a big difference. So the name might be there, but everybody would also tell you, and you can see for yourself, the athletic LeBron and the dominant that he was a couple of years ago is not the same that he is now. So, yeah, I mean, I think people get fooled by the names on their own paper, but, yeah, those names have been built throughout their career and now they’re older, so they’re not what they used to be.” -via Apple Podcasts / July 20, 2024
