For the fifth straight time, Team USA has won the gold medal. The 2024 Olympics concluded with USA’s 98-87 win over France in the men’s basketball tournament.
Stephen Curry led the way with 24 points and shot 8-of-13 from 3. LeBron James and Kevin Durant contributed with 29 combined points between two superstars.
The 11-point win capped off a dominant run by the USA. It went a perfect 6-0 during the Olympics and was the clearcut top squad. A deep roster filled with All-Star players made it the heavy favorite.
A couple of Oklahoma City Thunder players celebrated the USA’s win. Jalen Williams and Jaylin Williams shared their reactions on social media. There’s a decent chance the former is invited to join the squad in 2028.
Steph crazy !!!!

In four years, there’s a decent shot that several Thunder players will be part of the Olympics in LA. Jalen Williams and Chet Holmgren have strong cases to be on the USA’s squad while Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Lu Dort should be invited back to Canada’s roster.
