2024-08-08

After a thrilling victory over Serbia, coming back from 13 points entering the 4th quarter, LeBron James went on to accomplish something that has never been achieved before in Olympic basketball.

According to StatMamba , James is the only player in Olympic history with 300 points, 125 rebounds, and 125 assists.

Another sole accomplishment that no player has ever achieved. James was vital in the win, racking up a triple double with 16 points, 12 rebounds, and 10 assists. However, Stephen Curry was legendary, to say the least.

Curry nearly broke the United States single-game scoring record with 36 points and nine made threes. Joel Embiid also contributed 19 points.

The U.S. will now take on the home team, France, in the gold medal game on Saturday. While Serbia will play Germany for bronze after France defeated Germany earlier in the day on Thursday.
