  1. i’ve always coveted Bogdanovic. Great play by the Lakers greats. LeBron, Steph, KD, Embiid. What a comeback. Clutch LeBron defending Joker. Triple double. Do they have MVP for Men’s BB? If so, LeBron is it.

    • Tom, I didn’t get a chance to watch the game. LeBron had a triple double? From what I was told, the team had their backs against the wall. If that was the case then they better wake up. Nobody is going to give them the trophy, and they better bring us the gold.

      • Serbia was on fire the first three quarters from deep, especially Bogdan. Team USA upped their defense in the fourth with LeBron on Joker and clutch play from orior NBA MVPs James, Curry, Embiid, and Durant.

        • Thanks, Tom. I just watched the replay. The game was full of suspense. Here is my recap of the game.
          The team indeed survived Serbia’s upset bid, winning 95-91 after trailing by double digits. Steph Curry’s 36 points and LeBron’s triple-double propelled them to victory 12. 🏅🇺🇸
          The stakes were high—the winner would advance to the gold medal game. But this wasn’t just any game; it was a battle of giants, a clash of basketball titans.
          This game was pretty much an underdog’s roar for the most part, but the team snatched victory from the jaws of defeat.
          Serbia came out swinging, led by their maestro, Nikola Jokic. The scoreboard tilted in their favor, and with each Serbian basket, the crowd held its breath. The U.S. trailed by 17 points entering the fourth quarter—a deficit that felt insurmountable. But then, Stephen Curry ignited a spark. His three-pointers rained down like meteors, and LeBron James orchestrated plays with surgical precision. The gap narrowed, and suddenly, the impossible seemed within reach.
          With seconds remaining, the score stood at 93-91 in favor of Team USA. Serbia had possession, and the crowd’s collective heartbeat echoed through the arena. Jokic received the ball, eyes locked on the basket. But Anthony Edwards, the breakout star of the Olympics, lunged. His outstretched hand deflected the shot, and time expired. Victory hung in the balance, suspended like a tightrope walker over a chasm.
          As the final buzzer sounded, relief flooded the American players. They had dodged a bullet—a cannonball fired by fate. Had they lost, the world would have gasped, headlines screaming, “David Slays Goliath!” But they survived, etching their names into Olympic lore. LeBron, Curry, and Edwards—the architects of resilience—would be remembered not just for their points but for their defiance of destiny.
          Now, Team USA faces France in the gold medal game. The Bercy Arena awaits, its French fans ready to roar. LeBron, Durant, and Embiid—the seasoned warriors—know this is their Everest. They’ll battle not just for gold but for redemption, for a legacy that transcends stats and medals. And when the final buzzer sounds, the world will hold its breath once more, wondering if they can dodge one more bullet—the one that writes their names in golden ink.

    • The funny thing is Serbia didn’t make any three point shots in the 4th quarter. That is when our defense picked up. We outscored Serbia 32-15 in the final frame. That will do it.
