‘LeBron puts his imprint on the game in so many different ways,’ said Team USA head coach Steve Kerr.
To cap off the U.S. Olympic men’s basketball team’s first victory against Serbia, arguably one of the greatest basketball players in the world, LeBron James, gave the world an iconic photo.
Team USA took the opportunity to post the photo, automatically giving it icon status.
Waited 12 years for this.

Although the future Hall of Famer is getting older, you can’t tell by the way he is playing. Although teammate Kevin Durant led the United States with 23 points, LeBron was right behind him with 21. He also pulled down eight rebounds and gave out nine assists.
Team USA head coach, Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr, was impressed with “King James.”
“LeBron puts his imprint on the game in so many different ways. It’s not just his skill, his strength, his size, but it’s his emotion, his confidence. Just the way he infuses our team with energy and confidence at 39 (years old) is just amazing,” Kerr said after the victory.
The next game is Wednesday against South Sudan. The Americans played the team previously and squeaked out a one-point victory.
