Team USA has such a star-studded roster that sometimes <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/steve-kerr">Steve Kerr</a> has no option but to leave big names on the bench. LeBron James, however, has reminded his teammates what really matters in the Olympics.



“We know that’s part of what the coaching staff may do throughout the course of the tournament,” James said, via Aris Barkas of Eurohoops.net. “So, you know, we know it could be anybody’s number any given night, and it’s not about who starts, it’s not even about who finishes, it’s about when you’re in the game, you know, the minutes that you play, you play at a high level, and I think everybody did that in the minutes they played.”



The changes in the lineup and the rotation have given a lot to talk about at the beginning of <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/olympics">Paris 2024</a>, with Jayson Tatum and Joel Embiid among the stars who found themselves on the bench in some group stage games. But LeBron believes everyone is doing a great job in helping the team succeed.



<h2>LeBron James happy with Team USA’s depth</h2>



Those who come off the bench have been impactful for <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/team-usa">Team USA</a>, helping the squad start the Olympics with a 3-0 record: “It’s great. I mean, you know, we’ve got 12 guys that can go out and get the job done, you know, any given night.”

At 39, The King is leading Team USA both on and off the court. He’s been the flag bearer in the opening ceremony, and apart from proving he still has enough left in the tank in these Olympics, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lebron-james">James</a> is giving credit to everyone for their contribution, regardless of their playing time.

<h2>LeBron warns about Olympic opponents</h2>



Even though Team USA is strong favorite to take home gold, LeBron James knows there are no easy games in the Olympics, with many challenging opponents at Paris 2024.



“There’s a lot of great teams right now,” James said, via Ben Golliver of The Washington Post. “Obviously, Canada and Germany. I like the battle that Greece has had. We had Serbia in our group play and we know what they’re capable of. Australia as well. We’ve got to be ready.”

There’s no denying the ripple effect that <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lebron-james">LeBron James</a>, the superstar forward for the Los Angeles Lakers, has on everything around him. Whether on or off the court, James’ actions and presence always make waves, highlighting his significant influence in the world of sports and beyond.



As LeBron James competes in the Paris 2024 Olympics with Team USA, the basketball legend proves he’s still in tune with the latest sports headlines. Despite his focus on the Games, James remains actively engaged with the world of sports, recently sharing his thoughts on the latest NFL developments.



James took his Instagram account to share his reaction upon learning who topped the NFL’s Top 100 rankings for this season. The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/los-angeles-lakers">Los Angeles Lakers</a>‘ superstar expressed his excitement and admiration for the player who earned the top spot.



It’s none other than Miami Dolphins WR <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/tyreek-hill">Tyreek Hill</a>, who was recently voted by his NFL peers as the top player in the league and is also set to secure a massive contract extension with the Florida franchise.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="497" height="845" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20240804_BUS_154316_GUFpOa3akAA1uh9_252a94d6.webp&amp;width=497&amp;height=845" alt="LeBron James Instagram Story" class="wp-image-154319" srcset="https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/GUFpOa3akAA1uh9.png 497w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/GUFpOa3akAA1uh9-176x300.png 176w" sizes="(max-width: 497px) 100vw, 497px"></figure><figcaption>@kingjames Tyreek Hill Miami Dolphins.</figcaption></figure>



Nearly 1,700 active NFL players cast their votes to determine the top 100 players from the league’s 32 teams. In an unprecedented outcome, Tyreek Hill, the wide receiver for the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/miami-dolphins">Miami Dolphins</a>, has secured the number one spot for the first time ever.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/nfl-news-los-angeles-chargers-get-terrible-injury-update-about-justin-herbert"></div>


<h2>The Miami Dolphins’ expectations for the upcoming season</h2>



In the last two seasons, the Miami Dolphins made it to the playoffs, but despite their efforts, they were always behind the Buffalo Bills and failed to advance past the Wild Card round.



This year, the team features not only one of the league’s most accurate quarterbacks, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/tua-tagovailoa">Tua Tagovailoa</a>, but also boasts unique offensive talents like WRs Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle, along with RB Raheem Mostert and the recent addition of experienced former Giants and Browns player Odell Beckham Jr



With that said, under the guidance of Mike McDaniel, the Dolphins will strive to secure the top spot in the AFC East, aiming to bypass the Wild Card round and reach the coveted Super Bowl next February.

When the Los Angeles Lakers selected <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/bronny-james">Bronny James</a>, it sparked intense debates among fans and analysts. Many questioned whether the decision was influenced by nepotism and whether LeBron James‘ son possessed the talent necessary to succeed at the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba">NBA</a> level.



<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lebron-james">LeBron James</a> has long dreamed of playing alongside his son in the NBA. This dream is on the verge of becoming reality, with the duo set to become the first father-son pair to play together in the league, and remarkably, on the same team.



During a recent BIG3 event, LA rap icon and Lakers fan Ice Cube addressed these criticisms while speaking with Brandon ‘Scoop B’ Robinson of Scoop B Radio. “It don’t matter,” Ice Cube stated. “The thing is, a father should help his son to get to the next level, whether it’s basketball, business, or a job. Wherever you can help your own family, you gotta do it.”



<h2>Bronny James at the Summer League</h2>



In his first games with the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/los-angeles-lakers">Los Angeles Lakers</a>, Bronny James played a total of six games in the Summer League. His performance showed notable improvement in the later games compared to the initial ones.

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/team-usa">Team USA</a> performed much better against South Sudan in the Olympic group stage than in their exhibition match. <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/angeles-lakers">Los Angeles Lakers</a> star LeBron James finished with 12 points, seven rebounds, and five assists in the 103-86 U.S. victory, which puts them atop Group C with a 2-0 record at the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/olympics">Paris 2024 Olympics</a>.



Team USA’s story tonight was the performance of their bench. Bam Adebayo and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kevin-durant">Kevin Durant</a> led four players with double digits in points, with the substitutes setting the pace of the game. In addition, a different starting lineup was seen with Anthony Davis and Jayson Tatum replacing Joel Embiid and Jrue Holiday.



However, the change in lineups and rotation is something everyone on <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/olympics/olympics-2024-team-usa-mens-basketball-roster-schedule-history">Team USA Basketball</a> is prepared for. LeBron pointed out that for everyone on this team, it’s about playing at the highest level during the minutes they are on the court.

Lakers star <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lebron-james">LeBron James</a> said his only goal is to win gold for Team USA and that’s all he’s thinking about.

<h2>Team USA’s bench unbalances scoreboard: LeBron highlights team depth</h2>



But it was Team USA’s bench that turned the tide of the game against South Sudan. LeBron credited them for getting the job done, emphasizing how dangerous this team is from top to bottom: “It’s great,” James said. “I mean, you know, we have 12 guys that can go out and get the job done, any night. And, you know, our second unit did that tonight for us. Defensively, that’s where it started, and then offensively, they were also great.”

However, the bittersweet part of the story for the United States has been Joel Embiid. After battling many injuries in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nba">NBA</a>, he hasn’t received much love from French fans.

Joel Embiid has been constantly booed by French fans as he decided to play for Team USA instead of France. Now, Anthony Edwards had enough with a tremendous answer according to a report from Jonas Miklovas. 







“I don’t know what is going on. I don’t know why he gets booed all the time. You got Wemby and Rudy. Why would he (Embiid) play with y’all? Wemby (Victor Wembanyama) and Rudy (Gobert), what more do y’all want? You want three 7-footers?”

<h2>Why are French fans booing Joel Embiid in Paris 2024 Olympics?</h2>



The controversy in the Paris 2024 Olympics with Joel Embiid&nbsp;is about which country he should represent. Joel was born in&nbsp;Cameroon&nbsp;and then moved to the&nbsp;United States&nbsp;at age 16.



In 2022, the star of the Sixers became a French citizen. Although the player never lived in&nbsp;France, the government allowed a speedy naturalization and, as a consequence, millions of fans though he would be the biggest rival of Team USA playing alongside Rudy Gobert&nbsp;and Victor Wembanyama. Just like Edwards mentioned.
