LeBron James and Steph Curry debuted as teammates for Team USA in impressive fashion, leading their squad to an 86-72 victory over Canada in a pre-Olympics exhibition game held in Las Vegas. The game marked a significant moment as two of the NBA’s biggest stars joined forces on the international stage for the first time, showcasing their synergy and setting high expectations for the upcoming Paris Olympics.
Initially trailing 11-1 early in the game, James and Curry rallied Team USA with their veteran leadership and skillful play. Curry showcased his renowned three-point shooting prowess with 12 points, while James contributed seven points along with crucial playmaking and defensive efforts.


Following their successful outing in Las Vegas, Team USA now prepares to fine-tune their game further in the United Arab Emirates, where they will face Australia and Serbia in additional exhibition matches. These games are pivotal in solidifying team chemistry and sharpening strategies ahead of the rigorous Olympic competition.

After the game, LeBron James took charge of the team’s post-game huddle, stressing the importance of continuous improvement despite the victory. He emphasized the need for defensive intensity as a foundation for their success in Paris, acknowledging that offensive cohesion will develop with more time on the court together.


Steph Curry echoed James’ sentiments on defensive commitment, underscoring its critical role throughout the Olympic campaign. He highlighted the team’s potential to excel if they maintain a collective focus on defensive execution and teamwork.
Reflecting on their first game as teammates, both James and Curry expressed mutual respect and enthusiasm for playing alongside each other. They emphasized their shared passion for basketball and the privilege of representing their country at the highest level of competition.
Looking ahead to the Paris Olympics, James and Curry reiterated their collective goal of securing a fifth consecutive gold medal for Team USA. They emphasized the importance of individual contributions and team cohesion in achieving success on the global stage, demonstrating their commitment to excellence and unity in pursuit of Olympic glory.
