It has been an incredible summer of basketball for former UCLA Bruins guard Jrue Holiday. Holiday helped his Boston Celtics win the 2024 NBA Finals over the Dallas Mavericks. That was in June. After spending July getting ready, and starting the Olympics, now Jrue Holiday is an Olympic Champion.
Team USA led from start to finish to win the game over France 98-87. The Americans outscored France 26-21 in the fourth quarter. It was the Steph Curry show late in the game. He finished the game with 24 points in the game. He was 8 for 13 from downtown.
LeBron James was named the Olympics MVP and finished the final game with 14 points and 10 rebounds. Jrue Holiday did not start in the game but played 19 minutes and scored 6 points and 4 assists.
