LeBron James Goes Viral After Sideline Moment in Team USA-Nigeria Game

The stars came out to support the women's national basketball team on Wednesday as they took on Nigeria in the quarterfinals of the 5x5 tournament. There was perhaps none bigger than Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James, who himself is in Paris hoping to lead the men's team to Olympic glory.

The NBA's all-time leading scorer, however, was an avid spectator from the sidelines on Wednesday as he cheered Breanna Stewart, A'ja Wilson and the rest of Team USA.

In fact, LeBron is now going viral after a cool sideline moment in the second quarter of the game. Stewart hit a big trey as the halftime buzzer approached following a perfect assist from Wilson. James gave the play his stamp of approval.

LeBron, who dropped 12 points and nine assists in the men's team's 122-87 rout of Brazil in their own quarterfinals matchup on Tuesday, busted out the "ice in her veins" celebration for that one as he watched Stewart bring up Team USA's lead to 17 points.

The Americans would go on to secure victory in this one despite a massive comeback attempt from their opponents, who outscored them 26-12 in the final quarter. Team USA would hold on, though, 88-74, to book their place in the semifinals.

They will now face Australia on Friday in the semis after the Aussies won their quarterfinal game against Serbia, 85-67.
