After Team USA‘s triumph at the Paris 2024 Olympics, MVP LeBron James took to social media to share his final feelings.
After securing a narrow victory over France in the final, Steve Kerr’s squad confirmed their gold medal candidacy, clinching the top spot on the podium and pushing the host nation to second place, while Serbia finished in third.
With LeBron James delivering a dominant performance throughout the tournament, combined with Kevin Durant‘s consistency and a stellar showing by Steph Curry in the final two games, Team USA proved their superiority over all rivals and rightfully claimed the top spot.
In light of this situation and perhaps recognizing that these were likely his final Olympic games representing the United States, James took to social media to share an image that captures his final feelings about the entire experience.
