Olympic champion with Team USA reveals special moment with LeBron James, Stephen Curry, and Kevin Durant


Several days have passed since Team USA's triumph at the Paris 2024 Olympics. However, anecdotes and special moments continue to emerge, such as the one experienced by stars LeBron James, Stephen Curry, and Kevin Durant along with one of their teammates after their victory over France in the final.

An event of such magnitude, featuring three of the best basketball players of recent times on the same court, will undoubtedly be hard to replicate. Moreover, many of their teammates were privileged witnesses to this extraordinary occasion.

Looking back at the events of the past few days, Steve Kerr's team embraced their role as frontrunners and contenders, securing the gold medal at the Olympics with distinction. With LeBron James named MVP, the United States clinched the top spot for the fifth consecutive time.

Not only did experience play a crucial role throughout the competition, but a new generation of players also emerged, promising to carry on the legacy established by these incredible athletes.

The importance of continuing the project will fall to Steve Kerr's successor, who has decided to step down following the Paris Olympic Games. With the goal set for Los Angeles 2028, it remains to be seen who will ultimately take charge of the team.

A special moment for one of the rising stars

One of the most promising talents on Team USA is undoubtedly the Minnesota Timberwolves player, Anthony Edwards. He was the one who, during an interview, mentioned a particularly special moment shared with LeBron James, Stephen Curry, and Kevin Durant.

Regarding Team USA's coronation after winning the final, Edwards admitted: "Steph [Curry] was number 4. I was number 5. [LeBron James] was 6 and [Kevin Durant] was 7. When Steph's name get called, they go crazy. My name get called, they like [meh]," Edwards recalled in the Fanatics Fest event with Jalen Rose, via Boardroom. "Bron name get called crazy, [KD]'s name get called, they go crazy. So me just being in the middle of them, I think that was the greatest time in my life."

The future coach of Team USA

With Steve Kerr stepping down as Team USA head coach, two names are emerging as potential replacements. The top contenders to succeed Kerr in this successful cycle are none other than his two assistants from the Paris 2024 Olympics.

First among them is none other than Miami Heat head coach Eric Spoelstra, while also emerging as a potential candidate is Tyronn Lue, head coach of the Los Angeles Clippers.

The decision remains uncertain, but all signs point to one of these two names being the eventual successor to Steve Kerr, taking the helm as the team heads toward the Los Angeles 2028 Olympics.

NBA Rumors: LeBron James' Son Bronny Is on Draft Boards of 'Multiple Teams'

Chris Coduto/Getty Images Bronny James' USC team has struggled this season, but that reportedly hasn't stopped the NBA interest in the son of legend LeBron James. "When I talk to people around the league, he's on the draft boards of multiple teams," Shams Charania of The Athletic and Stadium reported Thursday: Charania noted teams around the league believe he is "further along" on the defensive side of the ball than the offensive side, which makes performances like Wednesday's all the more important. The USC freshman finished with 11 points, six assists and five rebounds while shooting 5-of-11 from the field in one of his best offensive showings of the season in a loss to Arizona. The only game that he scored more points in was a Dec. 30 loss to Oregon State when he finished with 15 on 6-of-11 shooting from the field. Perhaps most importantly, James played a season-high 30 minutes against the Wildcats on Wedn...

They were two young stars with unique and special abilities on the basketball court. They had recently played in a high-attention scholastic contest against each other. They were both selected in the same draft. The LeBron James and Carmelo Anthony rivalry was supposed to be the best individual rivalry since Magic and Bird. But while the relationship between Bird and Johnson is dramatized in a new Broadway play , Anthony and James will meet for the 15th time in their careers and do so without much fanfare.

Much like how Johnson raved about Bird after they played together on a college All-Star team playing in an international tournament, James couldn’t stop talking about Anthony.
