With the help of a few fan accounts, a video recording of James's message to the USA went viral on social media, receiving over 4 million views. Fans like 39-year-old James for his leadership qualities, and he's one of the oldest men's basketball players participating in the Olympics.

LeBron James delivered a critical effort to clinch a gold medal

After sweeping their first four games of the 2024 Olympics with ease, the star-studded USA men's basketball team got a fright in their semifinal matchup against Serbia and three-time NBA MVP Nikola Jokic on Thursday. By the end of the third quarter, the squad was down 13 points and had fallen by as much as 17 points.

Serbia led for more than 35 minutes of play, but the U.S. squad pulled off a stunning comeback just when it counted most. After outscoring Serbia 32–15 in the last quarter, Team USA took the lead for good with a 3-pointer from Stephen Curry with 2:24 remaining in the 95–91 triumph.

Stephen Curry had his best performance in a USA jersey, scoring 36 points, just short of Carmelo Anthony's American Olympic men's basketball record. LeBron James delivered a critical effort, and the United States relied on contributions from virtually all players to clinch a gold medal over host France on Saturday.
