Pretty much every US Olympic squad since the 1992 Games has been compared to the ‘Dream Team’ led by Michael Jordan and none have ever come close.<\/p>\n
This Gen Z ensemble cast, featuring four NBA regular season MVP winners – James, Curry, Kevin Durant and Joel Embiid – 11 NBA All-Stars and seven NBA champions, is not far behind.<\/p>\n
Coach Steve Kerr – himself one of the greatest bosses in NBA history – wondered how he would knit together five players from a 12-man squad where each could be a future Hall of Famer.<\/p>\n
Against Serbia it took a while for the individuals to get going as a team with only Curry, finding space to land his trademark three-pointers, keeping them within touching distance.<\/p>\n
Jokic looked on course to upstage his American opponents, playing a key role as Serbia, who led by as many as 17 points, stifled them in a dominant first half.<\/p>\n
But, as the US powered back into the game, Serbia faltered.<\/p>\n
Three-pointers from Durant and Embiid started to turn the tide in the last quarter before James bustled through to put them level at 84-84.<\/p>\n
Curry landed another from behind the arc as the Americans led with two minutes and 24 seconds left – the first time they had been ahead since 45 seconds after the game started.<\/p>\n
With an A-List crowd including rapper Travis Scott cheering them on, they closed out a memorable victory and danced in celebration on the court.<\/p>\n
Serbia were unhappy with some of the refereeing decisions in the clutch moments, making their feelings known by lambasting the officials as they walked off the floor.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
