    LeBron James and the United States men's basketball team were tested in the Olympic semifinal, but they were able to crawl away with the victory for a shot at a gold medal against France.

    Team USA defeated Serbia 95-91 with a triple-double from James and a 36-point performance from Stephen Curry.

    Curry had the highest point total of any U.S. player in these Olympic Games, and James became the fourth player in Olympic history to record a triple-double with 16 points, 12 rebounds, and 10 assists.

    Following the team's narrow victory, James called for a huddle in the middle of the court. He shared his raw response to winning the semifinal game while making it known that the job was not finished.

    James also gave credit to two players in particular, Curry and Joel Embiid.

    “One more.. one f---ing more," James said. "We already knew we were going to be tested this f---ng tournament. Mothaf----n Chef & Joe, y’all mfs carried us tonight. One more godd---it.”

    The video of James's message to the USA caused immense attention on social media, receiving over 4 million combined views from a few videos on fan accounts.

    Fans seemed to love the leadership of James, who's one of the oldest men's basketball players in the Olympic Games at 39 years old.

    "What a good leader," said one fan.

    "Gave me goosebumps, bro," said another fan with the crying emoji.

    "That’s a leader!!!" commented another.

    LeBron James and Team USA will be back on the court on Aug. 10 at 3:30 p.m. ET.
