Beginning the Paris Olympics Group Phase with an impressive win over Serbia, USA Basketball stayed perfect after a 5-0 run in their Showcase Games. Getting Kevin Durant back from injury in this game, Team USA received a special performance from the Phoenix Suns star who led all scorers with 23 points on just one missed shot.
Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James had the best all-around game of any player on Sunday, finishing with 21 points, nine assists, and eight rebounds. As James was dominating Serbia, former NBA guard Nick Young sent a message to Chicago Bulls legend Michael Jordan that James is the greatest of all-time:
I’m sorry MJ …. Bron is the goat Mr Captain America

One of the arguments James has for being the greatest of all-time is his longevity. Still one of the best players in the world at age 39, James is already the NBA’s all-time leading scorer, and has the opportunity to put that record even further out of reach as he continues to play at a high level.
