Los Angeles Lakers rookie Bronny James was among the individuals in attendance on Thursday to watch USA Basketball defeat Serbia in the semifinals of the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris, France.
James was joined courtside by his younger brother, Bryce, for the contest, which saw the United States overcome a 17-point deficit. Several other luminaries were also on hand, including Dirk Nowitzki, Carmelo Anthony, Tony Parker, Sue Bird and Megan Rapinoe.
The group was treated to a thrilling 95-91 win by the Americans.
Stephen Curry erupted for 36 points, including the go-ahead 3-pointer with 2:24 left to play, while Joel Embiid had 19 points and LeBron James, father and teammate of Bronny, registered a triple-double with 16 points, 12 rebounds and 10 assists.
Team USA trailed by 13 points entering the fourth quarter, but coach Steve Kerr leaned mostly on a 5-man lineup that featured Curry, Embiid, James, Kevin Durant and Devin Booker. The group outscored the Serbians 32-15 to set up a gold medal match with France on Saturday.
You can bet Bronny will be there to watch his father go for a third gold.
