The Gold Medal match in the Paris Olympics was filled with drama. The star-studded USA team was up against the less experienced France side. While James led the charge, three-point sharpshooter Stephen Curry played a crucial role with his clutch performance. After Curry’s four deciding 3-pointers, the USA team took a dominating lead, which was too much for the home side. Thus, the national anthem of the USA was played during the medal ceremony as the team stood on the top podium. Later, the squad clicked plenty of pictures with the glimmering medal. LeBron uploaded an Instagram carousel post, sharing moments with Kevin Durant, Steph Curry, and Anthony Davis. The caption of this post read “Avengers Assemble.”
Interestingly, Lewis Hamilton applauded the champion side, sharing the post on his Instagram story. He also agreed with James’ ‘Avenger’ remark, commenting, “YUP.” The Briton always takes out time to appreciate champion players from other sports. Being a seven-time world champion, he understands the rigorous hard work behind the process. Therefore, the 39-year-old F1 legend is never shy of appreciating legendary athletes. Moreover, the reason behind such a gesture was his bond with LeBron James. Both pull up at each clothes important matches and races.
After a resounding victory, James was honored with the prestigious role of Flag Bearer for the American delegation at the closing ceremony of the Paris Olympics. The USA contingent won the 2024 Olympics, finishing with 40 Golds. While China had the same number of Golds, America bagged more Silvers and Bronzes to seal the deal.
