They all contributed, but without Steph knocking down shots to keep them afloat, we would have lost by double digits.
Word. Same if LeBron wasn't taking on a leadership role and setting the tone on the court.
and without lebron to pass him the ball an set up those plays. steph wouldnt have had those shots
Hate to say it but as great as curry was. Him going off rly just killed the flow of every one else getting involved that’s why no one else was doing anything . It was solo ball and he played great but it wasn’t team ball
@@Catdaddy836 oh absolutely!
@@cameronmorris1443 everybody was missin till the last part of the second half. tf you watchin 😂
Curry and embiid...people say dream team dominanted by 30 points but games like this is classic
The dream team wasn’t playing against a jokic either tho 😂
@@MrTheHeadlines thank you for saying it lol these guys are legends
This Serbia team is cooking the dream team.
@@MrTheHeadlines dream team dont beat serbia
People forget that bird and magic were washed in 1992. Especially bird
Bron and KD going up to Steph after the game says it all.
It’s a team USA effort .. We won
True
Yeah, Steph put them on his back! It was obvious
@@mkg5048 Steph almost shot them out the game, nobody could get on rhythm and was getting picked on defense, so they were helping and leaving people open cuss of him.
@@mariojimenez227🧢🧢🧢🧢🧢
That's so dumb! Steph was clearly the best player on that game. Period
%100 agree
Agree
Paul George is now certifiably insane. Curry fucking saved that game.
@chinaskibukowski this is how you make yourself look stupid. He kept them in it early but they were still down headed into the 4th by 13 points. Look at the 4th quarter stats and tell me PG is insane. Group effort.
@@EDogg5 PG is insane and you're brain dead if you think Curry didn't bail them out.
@@chinaskibukowski7747he's American. Reasonability isn't on his side. 😂
you dont know basketball HAHAHAHAHA
@@EDogg5if it wasn’t close lol 😂 USA would have lost by 3rd quarter curry score 7 in the 4 quarter if curry wasn’t keep that close the game is over the hell and who hit the go ahead 3
Steph won them that game bro, he had 36. bro shot 63% from the field, 9/14 from 3, finished second only to Bron in the game in rebounds as the smallest guy on the floor, and like Trae said, had 17 in the first. We all know Bron’s the captain of the ship but he’s had his moments during these olympics against South Sudan, etc. This was Steph’s game P.
He also had the shot that gave us the lead
PG smokin. steph scored the second highest (only behind carmelo) in olympic history.
who won them that game.
PG: “bron!”
weird answer.
36 man lol. That's all that needs to be said. That shouldn't even be a debate.
Steph was also a liability on D. He carried on offense but his perimeter D was awful.
@@byronmccullough9348 That's a fact! he gave up a bunch of threes but glad he was cooking on offense.
Steph was the only one that scored in the first quarter, the 8 rebounds were big but that steal late in the 4th was clutch especially since he took it to the rim and scored
@@CoutureThug if this didn't earn your respect and give Steph his flowers..idk what will
For sure and let’s not forget those 2 huge free throws that sealed the game
Just couldn't believe he was smiling as he took that last free throw. Cold!!!
🥶😁
Im with u... But that was a turnover..not a steal... A steal on the stats..but serbia threw the ball away and he caught it
Bron assisted in all those buckets.
Steph had 17 of their first 23 points and they had 23 for like 14 minutes lmao I think it is VERY CLEAR who did it
if if if ... they all came in and showed up
People forget Steph gets team USA started every game
@@keem3287 Nah this the only game he came out hot in the games that counted and that’s why they fed him the ball. They feed the hot hand. He was amazing though
They love to talk out of their a55. Leave these clowns alone to stay st*pid..
Do you have selective memory? Steph does not get them started every game.
I'm with Trae. Steph's 36 points kept USA close and within striking distance for KD and Bron to close it out.
I love Tare, and he understands Steph, for being a small skinny PG in compression with bigger players like LBJ and KD, it is different for them to take a game over. You can't just back the defender down or drive down the line muscling your way through. It takes more talent and skill.
This is the same reason why Steph only have 1 FMVP since people never gets him the credit he deserves. Man is a LEGEND. People will only realize how valuable he is once he retires.
lol that’s what was intended to have steph have the moments ! Wait for the story in few years
@@SC2_WARRIORSfacts brother
%100 agree
why yall act like steph didnt hit a go-ahead 3 and a fast break layup at the same time KD and Bron got activated. Like he closed that mf out too
What a dumb question, Curry kept you guys in the game, he was the main reason. He played well the entire game, not just at the end. Shot like a sniper.
Curry took out france’s neck with those four 3s. If it was closer to the last minute…france might have had gas to get even. But that serbia game it was bron in the last 3 minutes who took the charge. The KD 2pt in the last minute,it was bron who called for that switch. Obviously someone needed to score over 30 to even be in the game
We could tell you never hoop
It's a dumb question because the answer is "all of them"
@@jjjyli686curry took the three that got the lead, the lay that put us up two possessions and iced the game with freethrows 😂😂 how did he take charge
%100 agree
When Steph retires and people want to know why he finished with 1 finals mvp show them this exact clip of pg response. It sums how how people will overlook stephs impact on winning on big stakes games, Steph had 1 of the most important games in usab history, most points ever in a medal game in what looked like a team Serbia win 95% of the time, but here we are giving the bulk of the credit to his teammate all over again
Yep. Makes me appreciate Trae and the other guy sticking up for Steph even more. Would be so easy and appropriate to just give Steph his due here, but some seem committed to downplaying his impact at every opportunity
You fucking nailed it… the Steph discredit stuff has always been crazy.
I mean they gave Iggy a FMVP for holding bron to 36/8/8 lol.
Steph’s impact has always been overlooked
Agree!!!! The guy watched the last 4 mins of the game notvghe whole 4 quarters.
but this is what curry fans do too? kd had way more impactful box score numbers in both of the two finals he was in with curry, but thats obviously not the full story, just as we can't ignore lebrons playmaking, leadership, and defense on jokic in the 4th in this game.
@@crystalizedExposed “way more impactful box score numbers”
Respectfully, what does that even mean?
It was Steph’s game, he hit the three that finally gave them the lead, and shifted the momentum in USA’s direction. Everyone else had pivotal plays, but Steph’s consistency won it.
I think it was reffs game
Curry hit trees others were traveling thats all they did
It wasn't just that 3, he hit 9 threes for 36 points
Trae won this debate.
That’s is why he will always be the booossseeerrr
Yeah, he was hella chill and modest about it too but made his point. Respect.
PG was spot on as well. Steph had 36 pt, but not 9 assist that’s part was cap by Trae. Embiid and bron defense on joker was as impactful as curry 36points game
Its not even a debate. Pg is delusional bron simp and steph hater
@@thugisbackyeah man holding down joker to 4pts in the 4th quarter especially when they leading is no joke
Steph literally scored the go ahead basket on a 3 that put them up by 1 and they never trailed after that.
Steph was the only one connecting for USA vs Serbia in the semis, if not for him USA won't be in the finals now
Bron had the team on his back and took them to the semi curry jus finished it well they all did yall acting like curry scored all the points they all put on a show I think it shouldn’t really be a comparison but America people a always try to make a problem
What about the 4 other games before this when steph shot 23% from 3. Hahahahaha. That shows your just a fan boy
@@bigyu3529 You mean the Puerto Rico, Brazil, South Sudan games? Without LeBron, US would have still qualified regardless.
@@dansangel4369 no not for real u really not watching the games u just here commenting off the stuff u seen when u was scrolling cuzz ain’t no way they would of won 😭go watch the games
@@bigyu3529 aside from south sudan, the usa team would have won in the other elimination matches even without Lebron & KD
But usa team would never survived serbia in the semis without steph
Steph kept the team in the game with his play but It was the purest form of a team effort in terms of what won the game for Team USA you can’t really say one over the other tbh
yeah, remove any of the 4 of embiid, kd, lebron, and curry and ill even throw in booker and we dont win that game
Yeah I don’t think they win if the gameplan was let Steph dominate and everyone else fall back like in the first half. They play better when everyone is engaged
Steph made everyone get off rhythm,
@@mariojimenez227 that’s terribly false
@@datsapaddlin they just weren’t locked in defensively smh
All that aside , the craziest thing to me is imagine being an American and actively rooting against your own country because you either hate LeBron or want them to lose so Kerr looks dumb for not playing JT.
i am serbian and when i saw people from denver was rooting for serbia i couldnt believe that shit.. i get what jok means to denver but still, rooting against your own country because of one man is some next level shit
@@David-wo9lu trump supporters dont want the US basketball team who supports Kamala Haris to win, its all politics.
@@David-wo9lu You must not deal with nuggets fans much. Weirdos.
@@David-wo9lu no it ain't, it's a star driven leauge. That's American mentality. I mean what do you think is the biggest influence internet has on sports? Espicially americans who just go right onto the internet all the time when there's free time?
This some shit to think abt 🤔
For me it was Steph. Team USA scored 23 in the first. 17 of em coming from Steph. Serbia was going crazy the first half but Steph was always answering back. 8 rebounds, 2 assists, and a steal that he scored on. And let’s not forget the 2 free throws that made it a 2 score game and sealed the game. Steph easily
There you go, debate won.
Take away either top 3 we lose, Bron was guarding joker not Steph, Steph did what he always do
Lebron impacted the game more , on offense and defense throughout the tournament . He had many clutch steals which led to fastbreak pts and changed the momentum.
It's like jokic and Murray with the nuggets , Murray might hit those clutch shots but the real mvp is definitely jokic for setting the tone
@@thunder9394 Curry is no Murray bro. Curry can dominate all by himself
@@sleepywolf82 it ain't finals MVP tho , overall for the whole tourny they scored the same , but LeBron led in ast, reb, stls also better on defense than steph
And to be honest this was more like the gold game to me than them playing France honestly
Stephen Curry was the reason they won the game. But i think everyone had big moments during the game.
%100 agree
Jason Tatum was the reason they won. When the players that actually played needed some water or words of encouragement, it was Jason Tatum that was there for them.
That was actually Tyrese Haliburton. He’s the real bench MVP
@@taj3618 Co MVP’s 🏆🏆
😂😂😂😂
Jason Chief Seat Temperature Manager Tatum made the difference
😆emotional damage
It was definitely Steph. Without Steph, the game would have been over by halftime
As if it matters. LeBron was orchestrating a lot and defended joker. Team effort but yeah Steph went nuclear from 3
Lebron a lot of assist to curry
@@mason784”as if it matters” wtf does that even mean in this context lol
Ok so keep Steph’s performance and take out Lebron for they still win ?
Steph was also the reason they was down most of the game lmao dude can’t defend any hopper
USA would’ve lost without Curry
No they wouldn't team USA is too deep with talent they can lock up Serbias offense anytime they want to they probably wanted to give the fans a good game.
@@Darian-be4dq😂😂😂😂
@@Darian-be4dq This is pure delusion
@@Darian-be4dqdo you not understand we would be down by 25+ in the first 3 QTR if it wasn’t for Curry? We’re not coming back from that. Stop being delusional. Serbia was still making shots. Making shots while being up 25+ is not how comebacks work.
That’s like saying Serbia wouldn’t have had a chance without jokic😂
Damn, PG Serbian wife trash talking him during the game is funny 😂
Im not even a huge Embiid fan, but Embiid was a backbone. We gotta give him his flowers. Steph and Bron did what we all knew they could do, which is why they are called Chef and King l💪🏽
Nahh, he couldn’t do shit until joker got into foul trouble before that he was getting cooked out there, soon as usa started winning and jokic couldn’t do the same shit he was doing to him anymore he grabbed the opportunity. I’m not saying he’s bad player just that in this game he was in fact NOT the backbone
Im an Embiid hater. Dude went it and produced in a must win game. Straight up best moment of his career.
@@jasonjason6644 Yea you're just hating bro. Embiid was making Jokic so uncomfortable that whole game. He was cooking him before he got into foul trouble dawg. You could literally see Jokic try and just pass the ball to his teammates every time Embiid was on him. Only reason Bron even switched in the fourth was so when they kept switching to try and get Joel off Jokic, one of the Serbian guys couldn't get an easy look at 3.
@@divingz9061 LOL, you are trippin' ... he got it going in 4th after Jokic got his 4th foul. He scored 7 pts in 4th.
@@jasonjason6644Joker only score one time under Embiid’s defence😂
Steph had almost a 36pt trip dob and PG talking bout bron come on man. Bron balled out of his mind, specially for his age, but the chef was man of the match by a country mile💯
Bro bron runs everything, he controls the entire game , when curry hit shots who was passing it to him ? Who was telling ppl to move and back cut ? Lebron
@@rickypressey4808bron ain’t controlling shit.
@@RaonakDM you don’t know basketball bro foh
@@rickypressey4808 dont act like he is Magic, he aint no Magic.
Curry had 2 assists what are you talking about
Come on, Curry had a 89% TS night in a game where if he "just" is 75% TS night they lose.
Just 😭
I love how when it’s time for Steph Curry to get credit for carrying; everyone want to throw out “so and so or everyone did it”. Y’all didn’t use that excuse for all the other games when y’all was giving credit to certain individuals. Team USA needed every last one of those steph points. Steph Curry carried them to that win like Lebron, KD, and AD said.
Lebron said Curry and Embiid
@@taj3618 yes we know. Curry was still the main reason. I didn’t mention Joel because the debate was curry or bron
@@Kenziebanks23 I don’t see the US winning without any of the 4 honestly
@@taj3618 you can say that for every game USA won. I think it’s just weird that people don’t want to give Steph his credit when he did most of the carrying that game. Every other game Bron, KD, and the others who lead the way got their credit; why can’t he.
@@Kenziebanks23 I wouldn’t say that for every game. They won every other game by 20-30 points, except Sudan where Bron hit a game winning layup. They only won this game by 4 points and if any of the 4 MVPs didn’t do what they did they would’ve lost
Bron was definitely the big brother out there on that game, he did everything, but that night was Steph's night can't take that away from him.
Bron with almost 10 assists and 21 points on 70% shooting is insane. Curry for keeping them in the game with 3’s, bron for facilitating and leading the team
Bron had a triple double 16 points 12 rebounds 10 assists
Those are not insane number in the slightest. Bron glazers are absolutely silly
@@jdrmanmusiqking 70% shooting is insane and there have barely been any triple doubles in Olympic history. Do your research bro
@@brandonmunro1332 Stat padder Bron fools the just kids again
@@jdrmanmusiqking yeah you just nothing on bron you just bummer sitting in your chair and hating bron 😂
Curry got 36pts. Bron got a triple-double. Curry's production was too high and efficient for me to say he didn't win that game for us. Bron performance and consistency is all-time, though.
His "assists" were his teammates bailing him out of the possession after he held the ball for a long time. 4 of the were to Steph. Did he have moments? Yes. But as always with, people always try to paint him as something he's not.
@@sskmanentsa5326 well curry showed up this game unlike the other games
@@sskmanentsa5326 Stop it guy! You Lebron haters will come up with the most ridiculous bs in an attempt to downplay his greatness. Lebron is basically the point guard/point forward in this offense. His job is to hold the ball and run the offense to set others up for shots. It does not matter how long he holds the ball, as long as they get a good shot. Obviously, Lebron has been doing a good job in that role as he leads the team in assists throughout the Olympics.
To add, Lebron leads the team in points, rebounds, fg%, and efficiency rating throughout the Olympics. So to say "people always try to paint him something he's not" is comical. 😂Lebron is clearly what people paint him to be. The numbers speak for itself. Again, you Lebron haters come up with the craziest s*&t 🤦♂
@@marcc.5535 these Steph stans are biggest haters on the planet. Lebron was playing incredible defence, In one instance the ball was almost going into basket but Bron grabbed the rebound. Lebron didn't interrupt anyone's offensive flows, he orchestrated the offence really well.
@@marcc.5535 When you fanbois stop trying to dress that bum up like he Jordan us haters will be quiet. Curry won this game and saved Lebum from another bronze. You don't have to appreciate the reality but you can't deny it either. I guess that's not comppletely true either. Most people that think Lebron is a goat also use the wrong bathroom and play in womens sports while wearing a jockstrap. You might be one of them.
Definitely Steph!! Without him, the game would have been over before the third quarter, and we wouldn't have had a chance to come back in the fourth.
Steph definitely kept them in and deserved the game ball but they also don’t win if everyone don’t step up in the 4th. If even one of them was off they may have lost.
why do people think this is good logic? without steph, we lose. without bron, we lose. without embiid, we lose. you can think steph was the player of the game but the "without him, we lose" argument is trash. applies to multiple players
@@datsapaddlinYes, you are right! I didn’t underestimate other players. Just saying Steph contributed a little bit more to lead team USA to victory like Curry 30% Lebron/Embid 20% KD 15% others 15%.
With a lot of assist by Bron
@@pogiko3872 but think about it can ur lebron james shoot 3 like him if not shut ur gay ass down
"Lets not act like Bron was clamping Jokic" took me out😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂
Get off the hater drugs
USA won and Bron played better than Joker, so STFU.
He sounded like a hater too 😂 Who expects Bron to lock Jokic up 🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️ That shit wasn’t funny at all but I do agree Steph won the game but Bron, Embiid and KD played good too
Taking the challenge of guarding Joker is crazy. Imagine a little PG like Trae Young laughing at you for guarding Jokic. He has no room to be discussing defense.
I've seen referees allowing clean standing out, steps/traveling, they don't have the same criteria for contact... !
The USA chases the result for two quarters (3/4) and does not get out of the bonus!!! It's funny!!!
Booker really helped them. Prevented joker from wasting clock on inbounds. Especially when US needed more time in the game.
Screen he set for curry to get layups. Lots of plays that that just won’t show up in box score.
They would have gotten blown out if not for Steph
Funny how Serbia had a game plan to attack Steph, that's why they had so many open shots.
@@mariojimenez227Steph was a +20 in his minutes. So point are you trying to make?
If Steph doesn’t do it somebody else will they are just that good
@@1guywatchinYTnone of them shooting like steph😂 and last time i checced 3 is more than 2
@@1guywatchinYT everyone else was missing shots buddy.. going by your logic, if Bron didn't play make somebody else would.
Steph had the most points, kept them in the game through the first 3 quarters AND scored the go ahead 3 that made it 87-86, that they never trailed again after. Saying Lebron won this game is Hall of Fame narrative spinning.
But just imagine if he had guard joker
@@TheTaekwon3 Not like Lebron shut down Jokic though, he still had 6 points including a layup that cut it to 2 late in the game. Embid was surprisingly doing better against him.
Everyone played well. Though they were down, they sticked together, held on and soon they made a comeback. But that one person who deserves the most credit for this game has to be Curry without question.
Nah ant was a*s. Them Serbs was throwing him around. Kerr got him outta there reaal quick
You lost me with your first sentence. Everybody? Curry left the 1st quarter with 17 pts. 1st Q ended with 23 overall team score. And 2nd unit came in and didn't play good defense. Ant can't guard Bognanovic! Played 6mins and added only 4 pts!!! No the firts 5 with KD who played the last 8 or 9 mins of the 4th played well..everybody else? Nah
@@schutz1.0schultz14 Yeah. Not everybody played well. The closing unit (Steph, Lebron, Embiid, KD and Booker) all had their moments. Steph was the MVP of the game while Lebron is going to be the MVP of the Olympics. this is a classic!
I think they was so amazed with Steph finally having a Curry game they let their guards down thinking we got this and they started playing too loose after and it almost cost them one.
@@datsapaddlincurry didn’t play well before USA vs Serbia my friend was at the game in Paris and coach kerr told everyone “ everyone was right we don’t belong here “ then curry told the coach “ I got this”
It's Curry and Embiid period 💯 ngl
Steph kept us in the game all game ... Bron having a quiet triple double and playing defense on jokic in the 4th was crucial ... Embid KD and Booker's contribution was huge too ... That 5 is a special 5 ... Kerr didn't sub them out Kuz he knew what they did and were doing ... That was the game of the Olympics IMO
They wouldn’t have even been in the game without Steph! KD, Bron, and Embid were also huge but cmon Steph kept them in the game and came up with a clutch steal and clutch baskets!
They all contributed down the stretch. They equally showed their value but this was THE CHEF GAME 👩🍳
Bron himself said “chef and Jo u carried us”
Exactly.
The comment I was looking before I was going to put it. Agree 100%
👑General led the team
What else is he going to say? “I carried the team tonight”. Everyone played their role to perfection but Embid definitely didn’t play better than Bron.
@@thomaschapman6088He could just not say anyone specific, but he did.
PG's arguments really highlight the simple truth that sometimes people know too much for their own good. Like, one of the dopest things in 50+ years of sporting history just happened, and you be out here like "well actually...."
You know PG ain’t gonna bring up Book’s name 😂.
😂😂😂😂
Paul George, what game did you watch? Curry won that game for us, and they all contributed to help win as well. A team effort
Bron controls the basketball games on multiple levels ..real basketball heads know Tray does not know what winning is about .. he thinks offense is king

1. Steph
2. Embiid
3. Lebron
4. KD
@@danlittle447 facts
Nah! 1. Steph 2.bron 3. Embiid and 4. Kd
When lebron took the assignment to guard joker it’s underrated. Joker would have scored many baskets more
@@bearslasher5984embiid played insanely good defense as his main assignment
@@bearslasher5984 lebron didn't take the assignment to gaurd jokic. Serbia was using picks and dho to get embiid to switch off jokic because jokic was struggling with embiid on him. USA countered this by putting embiid on the pf to keep him in the paint. 76ers used the same strategy with embiid and pj tucker on Denver nuggets.
Curry is the MVP of that game, LeBron is the MVP of the entire tournament. Embiid is most improved player cause he's finally in shape. Tatum is most valued cheerleader 🤣
Underrated comment
i think the MVC goes to Hali. He is always smiling like a giddy fan watching his favorite player from the bench
Man this is true. I think tatum dribbles a lot and os not that effective on the halfcourt sets
It’s funny how the media casts spells on the fans putting them in a trance to glaze with out stats and analyzing impact 🤷🏾♂️
@@killerman9309 Isn't that the point of fandom? Fans naturally debate on the best team, player, etc. But when it comes to opinions I value the players the most on what they have to say
We needed each one of them, it's not isolated to one player. It's a team, not an individual game.
To hear Trae talk about Bron playing defense when dude never plays clamping defense is by far the funniest thing I’ve heard 😂😂😂
As a Hawks fan myself I found it hilarious
He said Lebron didn't clamp Jokić and he was correct
Steph was the MVP of that game, but Embiid finally showed up. He had a point to prove against Jokic and i think that’s what fueled him up. Adding to that, I think Bron and KD’s plays fired up the rest of the team, especially Book playing stellar defense. It was a collective effort
Curry kept hope alive in the game by coming alive. KD was cold until he needed to make shots in the 4Q. Joel battled at the rim and altered shots. He was a little disappointing defensively (rebounding) but made up for it in his big shot making. Lebron understood the gravity of the moment and took it up a notch when he needed to, putting his head down and driving to the rim where he is near unstoppable. He guarded Jokic and had a HUGE stop on the wing in the final minutes of the game. Steph had a huge steal and coast to coast and KD hit the dagger. The final 13 points were scored by the 3 faces of this generation of basketball. They emptied all the gas they had left in their tanks and I think that was evident by how those three (Steph and LBJ in particular, when Steph jumped on Lebron and they had that celebration moment together) celebrated.
To pretend this wasn't a team effort is stupid. They were ALL needed to win. Steph kept them in the game the first half, and yet they STILL would have lost if that *TEAM* hadn't LOCKED in.
Amen brother.
Couldn't agree more.
I enjoyed seeing LeBron with Steph and KD in the Clutch, this was a special moment 🙌 👌 💯
Booker got no love. Dude wasn’t known for being a defender but HE HOLD HIS OWN. Dude took Jrues minutes by playing disciplined D while keeping the opponent’s on their feet coz he can make it rain.
Playing at this level at 39yrs old alone is Gold Medal🏅
PG's view and Trae's view clearly comes down to there favorite play styles really. PG loved seeing bron be what made him a fan and same with Trae seeing steph ball.
I think you're absolutely right!
Right. And it’s the respect that a veteran like PG have who understand game management and bringing the we can’t lose spirit that LBJ brought to the fight once they were down.
Trey who has yet to be in a game with that type of pressure just thinks that all it takes is shooting long threes will get you back in games like that.
I dsiagree since Trae plays more like Dame and Harden than Steph. Hes not out here coming off screens. Tbh he plays closer to Bron than to Steph since Trae is always slashing and dishing the ball.
@@raddad1464 Nothing wrong with your point of view brother. Great observation tbh
Kerr's gonna play guys who fit his system more, Curry and KD fit obviously, and you put LeBron as a rich man's version of Draymond. It makes sense.
I get your point but calling LeBron anything with Draymond IS CRAZY. I get your point tho, you right. We talking about a damn BATMAN or T'Challa Rich Draymond Green.
GSW won 4 championships with Draymond as their primary playmaker. Time to stop this dumb narrative.
Na yo biggest bass reaching so Lebron will be teaching and here is what u need to learn through yo delusional mind that don’t understand basketball.. Lebron is the General and he has killed it in this Olympic journey. Lebron at 40 still the best and he is making the plays ! So stop your hating and understand greatness and it is on display right in front of the world .. or just be an ignorant tool

Curry and Embiid, Joel held it down on D and made some pivotal shots down the stretch.
2:47 secs in Trae Young tap dancing to answer the question gave me a migrane.
Lebron is the MVP of the tournament while Curry is the Semis and Finals MVP
Steph went crazy but I’d say Bron guarding Joker was huge and we all know you ain’t stoping Bron when he’s going to the basket.
This just shows how silly it is to individualize a team sport. It always comes down to if so and so didn’t do this and that, the team loses. The reason you have such great players is because anyone one of them can have a great night, and this time, it was Curry cooking from the jump.
Yeah Steph kept them in the game! He answered some big shots by the Serbians. Bron’s game management was crucial. KDs shot making was crucial. And Joel had some huge moments!
Lebron is not the coach!!!!
They were up 1 point after Steph made the game-winning 3-pointer, and they never looked back.
Bron himself said Chef and Embiid carried their ass that game during the team huddle, but that morale boost from Bron in the 2nd half was definitely a factor.
Without Steph the game is a blowout. Its him. Pure and simple
%100 agree
Why debate? They all contributed big and won. Their defense as a team in the 4th was amazing
its a fun friendly conversation and makes for an entertaining video
I hate softy’s like you, let the debate go
Yeah they had multiple incredible performances in this game
To have a topic bro
This is PG's show, so naturally he makes the topic. He wanted to boost Lebron. Simple. We needed him, but we needed Embiid, KD and Steph too. We needed that 3 from Booker. But any time we have moments like this, theres always that one guy. That one guy was PG today
Not to mention Bron basically told Embid I will guard Jokic. And he defended him well
That's a steve kerr defensive adjustment all day. Bron played Draymond's role on defense, Embiid was the help in the paint that also switched off Jok on perimeter screens. Bron's conditioning and physicality allowed him to battle Jok down low late in the 4th so Joel could stay fresh for offense and running the court. But Joel took on Jok 1-on-1 the rest of the game and kept him OUT of the paint entirely.
Yeah I get what Trae was saying by bron didn’t get the assignment till like the last 4 minutes in the 4th. And he did his job in stifling him.
Facts man ppl wanna give so much credit to one person bro it was the entire rotation especially the big dogs last 4 minutes but lebron literally controls the game star until finish
Embiid played jokic great especially considering his offensive impact on the other end. The problem is The best way to defend the pass is to leave the big in the paint and play a four on joker. That's why Minnesota can give him some fits because they have plenty of bodies to throw at him while keeping a center in the paint. Jokic could back LeBron down if it were 1 on 1 but Embiid lurking takes that option away. So then u give the credit to lebron cuz that's the better option between saying something slightly positive about Joel Embiid. But facts is facts. Embid sat and the lead grew. He came on the lead shrank. He was a plus what in a 4 point game?
@@altdelete7696 Embiid play good only when Jokic got 4 faul
It's almost 11 bruh
LeBron James : Olympic Tournament
MVP
Stephen Curry: FMVP😂
PG wrong. Steph and Embiid backpacked today
You wasn't watching I see Bron had the best field goal while having a triple double and his 4th alone put him over all
😂😂😂😂😂😂
LBJ haters are keyboard warriors lol! Sadlife!
Embiid should get more love but stop lying Bron was vital.
Embiid had a huge turnover down the stretch and gave up a million offensive rebounds. He lucky that he made those middys and ball didn't go to him the last few minutes. Steph was huge though.
When Pg gives his basketball takes you really see why he’s not the same player in the postseason 😂🤦🏾♂️
Fact 😂😂😂😂
Cause he said Lebron right ? Lebron made all the plays so stfu
Your logic makes no sense. He has playoff failures because he thought James was the mvp of this game? Plenty of players have already shared they felt the same way. The way your blinded by your LeBron hate is sad to see.
😂😂😂

Glad we finally got the Steph explosion Game. Been waiting the whole Olympics for this. One more to go guys!
Go get the Gold! 🇺🇸💪🏽👌🏽🏀
Are you me? Haha, same feeling!
Always at the biggest moment.
👑General will run the plays … so go USA 🇺🇸
Cap 🧢 Jason can fit in regardless
To be fair, he wasn't really needed in the previous games. And he's also not the type to let his ego get in the way when his teammates are doing a better job for the situation. Glad to see him stepping up when he's needed.
Mannn drop ts
Bron, when he talked to ref and they came to agreement.
3:00 how you forget about your own teammate? 😂
It was such a close game I feel like you can’t single out any one player’s contributions more than anyone else’s
Steph being on fire to counter the fire of Serbia's 3s. Steph got outshot by them, but if he didn't at least keep up, it was lights out and NBA would be looked down on for 4 years
You overblowing bro
Nobody would talk about it in a month. One game doesn’t mean all that, specially in FIBA basketball. Serbia is legit, they got hot, it’s one game and anything can happen.
@@DV-ou1yu No, you can''t have over 1billion in contracts for 5 guys on the floor and then they lose. If they are the superstars who the Sports media worships on national TV everyday, losing to any team is unacceptable. We are told they are the absolute Aces, the best in the world who stand above all, if they lose, we will know it was all a lie and the NBA is just an above average amateur league.
@@danielpp23 cap, this would been the one of the historic moment in basketball history if they lost. They would been known as the team that lost with a superteam
@user-ge8wp1rs3v lmao I dont think that even happened in 2004. Although you might not be wrong, you are definitely sensualizing it lol
Embid big shots were very crucial moments
Say what you want. that was classic basketball. Left a good taste in everyone's mouth.
Serbia had like 4 Stephen Currys on the court it was crazy. Steph literally the only reason Team USA was still in the game, cause if he doesnt hit 2-3 threes it would look so much different. Bron obviously is Bron, he don't have no bad game, but Steph is the main reason Team USA was still in the game.
Embiid was clutch asf in the 4th and prolly the 2nd most important player against Serbia.
Difference is... Serbian players had many open shots, but Curry can constsntly scoring 3s even if he is guarded quite well.
@@vojkanjovanovic7940 Thank you for this detail: "Serbian players had many open shots"
The USA didn't take the defence seriously the first half. The best answer yousaw it during the 4th Q.

@@pogiko3872 I'm a Bron fan. I disagree
Curry had that big steal late in the game as well
They were subbing out Steph for Holiday on defensive plays. Bron didn't shy away from guarding Joker, nor did they have to sub him out because he's a liability in tight games.
Trae Young Face said it all after PG told that bold face lie. 🤣🤣
Steph carried that game,Bron and Embiid did play goo thou but Trae is right without the 17pts in the first quarter they would’ve gon down bad
It’s hard to pick, that 4th quarter mob as a whole was unbelievable. But if I had to pick it would be Steph, he never let up.
LeMerica really battled with Steph though saying, “No this my documentary!” 🤣🤣🤣
Stop holding MJ cigars
In that 4th quarter, it was Embiid
Even with Steph and Bron doing all they did, it was a 14 point game by 4th
Exactly! While every player was a factor in this win, Embiid was the difference in the 4th.
Trae knows!!! PG too busy glazing Bron to see the truth! 😂
this is why the NBA media is in such a bad state.. u got the 3 best players of their generation and instead of appreciating u got platforms like these where gotta pin them against one another, just APPRECIATE
The issue is LeMedia wants to give all the credit to one guy. There's several players that stepped up for team USA this game.
There's literally an mvp award to initiate the discussion. Stop crying boy
I think Curry showed up in the most crucial moment, he's been struggling the whole tournament. But the truth is there's only one ball. If Curry didn't play that game It could've been everybody else chipping in. Durant might have gotten more shots up. Who knows if Tatum might have gotten his groove and we have had a more defensive lineup and those Serbian 3's might have been mitigated. In my opinion, keeping Jokic from playing 100% is the main goal. That's why Joel played heavy minutes. It's a team game. Debating who made the most contribution is moot, unless everybody else was playing like shit. They all played excellent, it was just a matter of trusting the hot hand, it could've been anyone, but this time it was Curry.
keeping them in the game,8 rebounds despite size,36 big points,the 3 to put them ahead,the steal to seal the game and the freethrows to close,i dont know why there is a discussion,every game someone different carried this time is was steph with embid bron and kd helping,team effort but steph was standing out
Steph went crazy in the 1st Q and in the last too, he made the 3 for the lead, steal the ball and made a layup and then he made the last FTs while watching the serbia bench letting them know that they are not winning that game, and he bring the energy since the 1st minute, was a LOUD 36, like in the Game 4 of the finals against the Celtics!
Steph 1000% won the game for them and brought it home for them.
Embiid helped bring it home more so than Bron did.
Bron in the 4th had 6 points. Lebron tied the game with a layup 84-84 but then gave up a bucket on the other end making it 86-84.
Steph in the 4th had 9 points in the 4th. Steph made the shot to give them their first lead 87-86 and got a key steal and layup.
Embiid had 7 in the 4th. And had a huge block
I disagree with PG. This game was due to Steph, if he didn't cook early on up to the end this game had to potential to be a 25-30 point deficit. However, to PG's point, at some point we really to reevaluate the legends from the 10s decade in Steph, KD, and Bron. If we remove the overseas players like Jokic, Giannis, Embiid, SGA, Luka, Wemby, and we look at who's the best players in the NBA, at the top of the list are 3 dudes pushing 40 and not ready to let it go which should a testament of not only longevity but just straight greatness from the 3-headed monster of KD, Steph, and Bron to put Team USA on their backs. Embiid play good as well.
USA population 333 millions, Serbia 6,6 millions 😂
China and India 1.4 billion+. What's the point?
@@cubsfan224 what do you think is the point?
Still didn't stop you clowns for talking smack for a year when we sent out C team.
Europeans are the worst trash talkers lol. Yall talk all that noise but then make excuses after getting smacked down
China and India each 4 times more people then the USA
USA 50 times more people then Serbia
USA still having to steal Cameroonians
Plus having the referees helping the USA
In other words: pathetic
Damn I really don’t watch Hawks basketball when tf Trae young grew a beard
Pg only saying that because he knows he have to guard Bron the most. Steph absolutely won the game
Steph and Embiid...PERIOD and mostly Steph🤷🏾♀
Dumb
