The representation of the United States arrived last year at the Olympic Games in Paris in the most sound composition and, expected, won the gold medal.
However, the plan could easily fail.
Basketball lovers in Serbia and further with discomfort remember the semifinal duel in Bersia, in which Svetislav Pesic’s team had a great advantage.
Still, Brilliant LeBron James, Stephen Curry and Joel Embiid managed to reverse the score and bring the US victory.
If neither Americans during that meeting were not pleasant, he also confirmed the US selector, the legendary Steve Kerr, the ninthly NBA champion (four times as a coach, five times as a player).
“The game against Serbia was the best game I was involved in his career. We were lucky to win. We had to use every action in the finals, and my boys did it,” Kerr said.
A similar impression was divided by Shane Battier, former NBA champion from the period while playing for Miami Heat, which was delighted with a basketball spectacle in Paris.
“Skirds against Serbia in the semifinals and France in the finals are the best basketball matches I’ve seen in life ‘for Stepha, LeBrona and the rest of the scenario,” Battier could write it better in his podcast.
He especially referred to Stepha Curry and his readiness for key moments.
“When I played, I was often the one who performs the ball at the crucial moments and I knew who really wanted the ball in the latter. When you see how to play Curry, you must pin up to trust,” Battier said.
Kerr added that no one has a mentality like Curry.
“Michael Jordan had a similar mentality, but a different approach – he wanted to ‘kill an opponent. He enjoys joy of kicking. He is an artist who likes what he does,” the legendary coach concluded.
