LeBron James scores the last five points -- including this key layup -- for Team USA to get up by two possessions with less than a minute left. He has 20 points on 8-for-11 shooting.

Not surprising who is carrying Team USA
LeBron James was born the same year the Soviet Union boycotted the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics. He made his Olympic debut two decades ago in Athens. And somehow, as against South Sudan, the USA is still dependent on James to win. What an amazing career. -- Kevin Pelton, NBA insider

To quote Anthony Edwards after that South Sudan game, the reason the Americans were able to pull away from Germany is simple: "LeBron James." -- Andrew Lopez, NBA insider

It's absolutely insane that LeBron is about to turn 40 YEARS OLD yet is still somehow the best player on Team USA. I have never seen anything like it.

The United States was trailing 82-81 with just over 4 minutes to play.

LeBron then proceeded to score the last 11 points on 4/4 FG, securing the win. He also chipped in 3 rebounds and 1 steal. LeCloser. pic.twitter.com/ssgr3nOpCi

I remember when folks used to argue that he isn't clutch. I assume they're shutting the **** up about now.
[Reply]

Their argument when he first got into the league was yeah he was quadruple teamed so he threw it to a wide open shooter who missed. Jordan would have shot it (and probably missed) as it was a good thing.

The NBA says it is sticking with Amazon despite TNT’s attempt to match: “Warner Bros. Discovery’s most recent proposal did not match the terms of Amazon Prime Video’s offer and, therefore, we have entered into a long-term arrangement with Amazon.”

Will come down to a judge interpreting a contract now.

The NBA destroying easily the best sports show ever (and one of the best TV shows ever period) just to get into business with Bezos is disgusting.
