The 2024 Paris Olympics continue in full, with an exciting Men's Basketball match-up between the United States and South Sudan set to occur on Wednesday. The US team kick-started their Olympic journey in a classy performance, triumphing over Serbia with a 110-84 victory on Sunday. At the same time, South Sudan marked its opening with a commendable 90-79 win against Puerto Rico.

Six mighty players kept Team USA's score ticking into double digits. Despite nearing the age of 40, LeBron James remains the indomitable of the team. James' aggressive downhill attack and remarkable court vision make it challenging for rivals to stop him while simultaneously enabling his teammates. In his first Olympics match since 2012, James effortlessly returned to form, ending Sunday's game with 21 points, seven rebounds, and nine assists, along with a plus/minus of 21. 


South Sudan, a country that gained its independence in 2011, has surprisingly risen to the Olympic occasion, contrary to the expectations of many. South Sudan has indeed been a delightful surprise, starting their Olympic journey on a high, even after performing as underdogs during a clash with the US in an exhibition on July 20, where they put up a commendable fight, only losing narrowly with a 101-100 score. South Sudan began their Olympic campaign on a high note, victorious against Puerto Rico on Sunday.
