    It will go down in history as the "Steph Curry" game for Team USA, but this semi-final victory over Serbia in the 2024 Paris Olympics could not have happened without LeBron James.

    Curry led the way with 36 points and 8 rebounds, but James added 16 points, 12 rebounds, and 12 assists. James now becomes the first player in Olympic history to record multiple triple-doubles in an Olympic career.

    James is also the only player with more than 300 points, 125 rebounds, and 125 assists in an Olympic career.

    It was a thrilling game that got too close for comfort before it was all over. Team USA trailed by as many as 17 points in the second half, and were down by 13 going into the fourth quarter.

    However, an offensive run from Joel Embiid, scoring seven straight points in the final frame, put the Americans back within striking distance. From there, Curry, James, and Kevin Durant put Team USA over the finish line.

    Now, Team USA will prepare for the Gold Medal Game against France, the home team on Saturday. With Victor Wembanyama and Rudy Gobert in the way of the Americans and a fifth-straight gold medal, it should be a game for the ages.
