Dawn Staley's 3-Word Message Watching LeBron James, Team USA in Olympic Final Says It All

Team USA is shooting for its fifth consecutive gold medal as the men's basketball team takes on France in the Paris Olympic Final. LeBron James has been fantastic throughout the Olympics and his high-level play continues on Saturday.

He's making electric plays on both ends of the court and looks more and more like the Olympic MVP for the men's basketball team. At 39 years old, this very well could be James' final Olympic event in his career.

With that in mind, legendary coach Dawn Staley shared a three-word message watching James in this year's Olympic Final. As it turns out, Staley is just like the rest of us watching James in awe. Shortly after James recorded a mean block, Staley stated "I'm a witness" while sharing an ice-cold photo of the future Hall of Famer.

The "witness" phrase stems from James' early Nike ads when he first entered the NBA in 2003. That slogan still rings true 21 years later as we now watch a grey-bearded James still dominating the court. The man is nearly 40 years old and still looks like one of the best players in the world.

James was fantastic in the first half in the Olympic Final against France. Ahead of the start of the third quarter, James has accumulated seven points, five rebounds, two assists, and a block.

The lone block in the first half was a tone setter for James and Team USA. James hit the ball off the glass and delivered an ice-cold stare down. Kevin Durant ran down the court and hit an open three-pointer in the same sequence, making it an electric play to give Team USA an early lead over France.

James has maintained being the face of USA basketball as he's been phenomenal throughout the Olympics. He's on the verge of making history for Team USA as well. James is leading the team in points (14.8 per game), rebounds (7.0 per game) and assists (8.2 per game). If the U.S. wins the gold, James will be the first player in U.S. history to lead his team in all three categories in the Olympics.

As for Staley, she's highly regarded as a legend of the game. After having a successful career as a player (6x WNBA All-Star), Staley went on to become one of the most successful coaches in women's college basketball.

Through 16 years coaching South Carolina, she's led the Lady Gamecocks to eight SEC tournament championships and three NCAA championships. Staley also won a gold medal as a coach at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.
