One more, “At least you have a sense of humor.” 


Last but not least, “Take the MVP away from LeBron. This tweet is the MVP.”


Despite not playing much, he is still a gold medalist.  Meanwhile, The USA team won its fifth consecutive gold medal winning 98-87 over host country France at Bercy Arena. It was also Haliburton's first gold medal at the Olympics. 

It was also his first time at the Olympics coming off an Eastern Conference Finals appearance and All-NBA Third Team selection with the Indiana Pacers. However, fans believe that the upcoming Summer Games in Los Angeles, which will be held in 2028, might be different for the player. 

Meanwhile, the game between the USA and France was a rematch of the final held three years ago at the Tokyo Olympics. Less than 48 hours after surviving a touch-and-go semi-final against Serbia, the American side had a stunning victory to close the Olympics in style.

The team with the All-Star players in it went on to have a 14-point lead early in the third quarter after a back-and-forth opening half. Stephen Curry, at last, stepped forward to give them what they had come for, to win a 17th Olympic gold medal! 

It was too much for France’s stunning NBA Rookie of the Year, Victor Wembanyama, who had his best offensive game, and his teammates. Curry concluded with eight three-pointers leading the side with 24 points. On the other hand, Phoenix Suns’ Devin Booker and Kevin Durant contributed with 15 apiece. 

LeBron James, the MVP, scored 14 with six rebounds, 10 assists, a steal, and a block. He had also registered a triple-double in a nail-biting game against Serbia as the 39-year-old proved that age is just a number for him.
