LeBron James Reveals Blunt Carmelo Anthony Message After Team USA's Comeback

Add another tale to the legend of LeBron James. The semifinals of the Olympics saw Team USA go down by 17 points to Serbia. It was a shocking twist after how their first two matchups went.

However, LeBron, aided by Stephen Curry and Kevin Durant, willed Team USA to a comeback win to advance to the finals. Curry stole the show with 36 points, almost breaking Carmelo Anthony's Olympic record. James, meanwhile, had his second career triple-double in the Olympics with 16 points, 12 rebounds, and 10 assists.

Anthony was in attendance for Team USA's win, even getting into it with Serbian guard Bogdan Bogdanovic. After the game, James posted on his story what Anthony told him after their game.

"You said 'Gotta get it done the hard way.'," James put on his IG caption. "I heard you loud and clear my brother."

After a disastrous second quarter, Team USA was down by double-digits heading into the second half. Curry's heroics were the only thing saving Team USA from a blowout.

When the whistle blew to start the fourth quarter, though, Team USA came out with a renewed fire. Relying on James, Curry, Kevin Durant, and Joel Embiid, they played with intensity on the defensive end. James and Durant turned back the clock and found a second gear on that end.

Unlike past tournaments, James was not the primary scoring option. Instead, he played the conductor, directing his fellow MVPs and catching their opponents off-guard. It's a different style from his past runs with Team USA, but it's been effective so far.

Team USA will now play France in the gold-medal game. That will surely be a treat to watch.
