There were more than a few big names that came to watch Team USA take on France in the gold medal game on Saturday. This included both past and present NBA stars. Carmelo Anthony and Draymond Green were among those present to witness history unfold.
They were not left disappointed.
Team USA got the job done against the host team, taking down Victor Wembanyama and Co., 98-87. Golden State Warriors superstar Stephen Curry stole the show with an incredible 24-point performance in which the GOAT shooter knocked down eight 3s against the French.
LeBron James did his thing, too. The NBA’s all-time leading scorer produced a 14-point, 10-assist double-double to lock up the tournament’s MVP title.
As the squad was celebrating its gold-medal victory, LeBron was seen dapping up Carmelo Anthony, who is one of James’ closest friends. Standing beside Melo was former NBA star Stephon Marbury.
Apparently, LeBron gave Marbury the cold shoulder, an incident media personality Brandon “Scoop B” Robinson decided to throw in Marbury’s face.
