\"Olympics:<\/p>\n

In the summer, fans got a treat as\u00a0LeBron James<\/strong>\u00a0teamed up with\u00a0Steph Curry\u00a0at Team USA for the 2024 Paris Olympics. The duo led the national team and won the gold medal in basketball.<\/p>\n

The recent Olympic games were the first, and possibly the last, for Curry. Over the years, he hadn’t had the chance to suit up for Team USA in the Olympics. Although he won gold at the 2014 FIBA World Cup, he was more focused on the NBA for the past 10 years.<\/p>\n

Curry had a hard time adjusting to the pace and rules of FIBA basketball and had a slow start in Paris. Eventually, Curry got to get the hang of it and became one of the key players.<\/p>\n

On Friday’s episode of the “GoJo and Golic” show,\u00a0LeBron James shared what he felt during the process of waiting for Curry to have a blowout game.<\/p>\n

I talked to him a lot about that\u2014him being in his first Olympic Games,” James said. “He had played in the World Championships before, but being part of the Olympics for the first time, he was new to it. You could see every single day, every single moment\u2014it was right there. … I knew the onslaught was going to happen. … We saw that in the semifinal versus Serbia, and we saw it in the final versus the host team, France.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

“Steph did what Steph does, hitting those big-time shots and putting everybody to sleep. It was an unbelievable moment, and I was happy to be alongside him.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
