Facts I’m like HUH my jaw dropped from the glazing 😂 Lebron had hella turnovers the last few mins and he had alot during the whole Olympics like 4 a game..ppl love to talk stats but fail to bring up his turnovers? He all time in them but nobody mentions that and it happened yesterday when it mattered. Yes he hit a 3 but turned the ball over numerous times Sidenote..Holiday got away with a mean travel too the final mins
It’s a shame that the greatest shooter of all time, in Steph Curry, has been relegated to an afterthought due to the constant barrage of media propaganda promoting Lebron. If Draymond didn’t get suspended and Bogut injured in the 2016 Finals GSW would’ve 4-peated and won 5 titles in total. How is Steph not considered in the greatest player of his generation conversation with or over Lebron? Steph won the majority of his titles beating Lebron.
@@DSKxMonkey You know how Lebron fan starts a debate usually. "As a huge Steph fan, Lebron deserves the MVP." I'm so sick of this lol. I don't even give a fuck. The media, the ignorant fans or whoever maybe, could bring up the 4 FMVPs vs 1 FMVP argument and we all know what is going on. Look at Lebron's bubble ring. Look at AD's stats and tell me that he didn't contribute like 40 to 60% of the team winning a ring. Lebron won that FMVP and what's the fucking point. He got AD so it's EASIER. Steph in 2015 when Iggy had the FMVP is by far the most productive and important player. And this stupid narratives formed that Iggy was the difference maker. This is like saying Kyrie won the Cavs the ring which he really did. He also had really good stats. He could have won the FMVP and it wouldn't even be as much of a robbery as Steph in 2015 for Lebron. This is the same media that hyped up KD. Bro I love KD but he's not at the level of Steph. It's Steph>Lebron and the rest of the player in this era. Steph got robbed so many times in those "voted awards." Same goes with this tournament MVP. What the actual fuck? Lebron padded his stats on those meaningless games. I really didn't care who score how many or got how many rebounds. We all watched it and the US were dominant in those games. It doesn't matter who got what stats.
It mattered in the first 4 games also. You had to make it to the medal rounds and thanks to Brons consistency, we were able to advance to have the chance to play Serbia and France
Why you lying to your kids 🤡? Lebron was our best player the WHOLE Olympics ! Led us in points assists and had the highest FG% and played great defense! Teach your kids to not hate on another man success like they 🤡 @ss dad!
found all the Jordan bootlickers in the comments. I’ve never seen a fanbase so hell bent on Lebron’s demise😂😂 You got the bronsexuals and then you got yall. Can’t keep his name out of your mouth😂😂😂. Funny how actual players respect KD, Steph and Bron but yall keyboard warriors who probably can’t even walk properly feel like your opinions matter💀 have fun dying in irrelevance
Yep.I believe he has a camera crew following him around the last 2 yrs.Setting up his future "Last Dance" type documentary.Something about his accolades (In Season Tournament MVP/Olympic MVP) over the last two seasons just seems forced/manufactured/made for novelty.Bron can play steady eddie, and the media will pretend like it's phenomenal.We're witnessing it in the playoffs this year.Bron really did nothing phenomenal that stands out.In the two most important games in the tournament, Steph turned into the Human Torch, and put on a performance for the ages.Before Steph, it was KD.To me, giving Bron the MVP is like giving 2011 Jason Kidd the Mavericks MVP over Dirk Nowitzki.Yeah J Kidd did a lot of glue stuff, but he didn't carry the team like Dirk.
Lebrom wouldve rbrought bronze 3 times if it wasmt for kobe. Kd and steph. If those guys dont take over. We would seen lebrons spexial move. The lewalkout in the 4th quarter
@user-dk4mp9ij1s take bron out and the whole team gets better. Brons selfish style of play limits other super stars. Whole team would have been better without him hogging the ball and turning it over
@@d.columbia9603Yet Curry had 5 TOs just like LeBron in the gold medal game and LeBron had 20 assists across the last two games, but yeah, he's selfish 😂😂 yall make anything up lol even if it's not reality smh. Lol. And if LeBron wasn't on the team, we would have been lost earlier in the tournament 😂
Thankyou! Steph Curry carried the team when it truly mattered. When, if we lose, we do not win gold. Lebron stat padded during seeding games. If Steph didn't do what he did, the US 100% DOES NOT WIN GOLD!
@@theefamgodjust say you're a fan and a casual one at that. Smh no objectivity in your take whatsoever. Curry literally averaged 7 points in the first 3 games. Glad people who actually know basketball makes decisions instead of you blind casuals
Listening to a bust talking basketball is nasty work, So when curry had 36 what system is that? when ant Man went off what system is that? when joel embid had a good game whay system is that? when d book had a good game what system is that? when KD went almost perfect from the field what system is that?
@@wada8658 First of all how can a bust play 12-13 years in the NBA. Second Steve Kerr stopped being a so/so coach and finally ran some plays for Steph.
That quote is absurd. LeBron has dragged more average players and inexperienced coaches deep in the playoffs than any other player ever. Most great players need the perfect team built around them to succeed. James is uniquely well-rounded. Out of the six coaches LeBron has led to the Finals, FIVE of them have never gotten that far before or since. This is not a coincidence. LeBron provides more traits at an elite level (scoring, rebounding, assists, steals, blocks, speed, paint presence, court vision/IQ) than any other player ever.
2 better games can make you sensation through social media, but 2 games in Olympic does not make you an mvp.Why? bec , mvp is when you played best through out the olympic run and THIS IS WHAT LBJ DID ,HE PLAYED EXCELLENT HE LED THE USA TEAM IN EXCELLENCE, HE NEVER TAKES CREDIT IN SOCIAL MEDIA IN LAST TWO GAMES, BUT NO DOUBT, HE IS THE MVP ,WHY? , LOOK HOW HE IMPACT THE WHOLE TEAM, LOOK THE STATS, IN FACT AS I OBSERVE THE GAME LEBRON HAS THE ABILITY TO MAKE OTHER TEAM MATES SUCCEED.CHARACTER & STATS, ACCOMPLISHMENT MAKES HIM GOAT..
What do you call Lebron's 4th quarter "performance"? And his "performance" against Serbia, when it mattered most? This guy, AS ALWAYS, disappears when things get tight.
Curry was the MVP. He was by far the most valuable player in the two games that mattered. The other games were easy wins for us regardless who we put out there so how valuable can you be in those?!! When it mattered most, LeBron shit himself with 4 turnovers doing his best impersonation of Tragic Johnson. That sounds like an MVP to me 🙄
Funny but LeBron had 5 turnovers in total in the final game. Do you know who was the other guy who also had 5??? OOPS :) But we all know because it isn't in the 4th quarter it is all good. The other quarters don't matter, right? :)
Don't waste ur time on fools.. Imagine if they'd lost the games Curry played like absolute dogshit, these same ppl wouldn't care that lebron played good.. He'd be blamed for them losing. Then they try to minimize it to "the games that mattered" like somehow it wasn't important to get to the semi's or finals... @@MANDMK
@@kra.7671 Hey I know you guys love Lebron and he's played well but you can see that without Curry's deft shooting in the two most important games, we wouldn't have won the gold? If you cannot be honest about that then you are surely biased for Lebron. I have much respect for Lebron's work ethic and hard play but sometimes it's not STATS that define a "most valuable player", sometimes it's the MOMENT. Stephen Curry showed up like a champion who would not let the team lose another opportunity for the gold medal...and if you could not see that, then I don't know what else to say. I do know this, if it was reversed, and Curry had the "stats", played well BUT Lebron played mediocre for the first few games but end up with the same "moments" that Curry had...he would've STILL got the FIBA MVP award.
@@kylebourne6839 firstly refute anything I said b4 u accuse me of loving lebron . Secondly u're doing the same nonsense that I spoke about.. Minimizing it to two games while trying to lesson the importance of actually getting to play those two games. The mvp was for all the games, not the last two..! Now u're claiming that they wouldn't have won without Steph's shooting? Really? Team USA was almost perfect in the last quarter against Serbia missing only two shots but somehow it was all Steph? Miss me with that bull crap.. They won that game as a team.. If Joel didn't do what he did they'd lose, lebron? Same... Kd same..tho Steph's 36 was more impactful, they won't winning without everyone stepping up.. Accept that.! As to ur point about if it was the other way around there'd be ppl saying lebron got robbed of the mvp I actually know that'd be the case but the ppl saying that would be just as disingenuous and heavily biased as u r and claiming others to b..
This shows that if Curry and lebron played together..Bron would get all the credit..Curry is literally why they came back to beat serbia..If Curry didn't go for 36 they wouldn't have won..
I love how House of Highlights had a headline of “Steph and Lebron put France to sleep” right after the game, when Steph did everything and Bron did nothing to seal the game lol. Saying it was Lebron, or even Steph and Lebron, who won them that game is a bold faced lie.
This is how it's always been with players on teams with Bron. He will get all the credit for a win, none of the blame for the loss. Kyrie won that man a ring in game 7 while Bron spaced the floor for him but Bron fans will say Bron won the game. It's pathetic.
@@CDiesel720 people will say Kyrie was the sidekick, the same way they do for Kobe and Shaq. Idk what the hell happened these past finals, but Kyrie has always been incredibly clutch and he was that dude in Cleveland. Lebron tried to have him traded for Chris Paul, another perennial choke artist, and in my opinion it’s because he wanted to be out of Kyrie’s shadow in clutch time. There was no difference between the players at the time, I have no idea why Bron would have wanted a trade other than that.
If you remove one player on that roster and the team losses that should be the MVP.. the last two games just proved everyone except Curry can be replaced and the US team would still win
I honestly disagree. LeBron truly was the most valuable player on the team. Even Steve Kerr would agree. Hell, even Steph would probably agree. LeBron provided so many critical traits down the stretch -- boxing out, rebounding, fast breaks, decision making, etc. As Steve Kerr said, "LeBron has mastered every part of the game. I'm a fan of his for life!"
France left bron and kd open because they knew Steph would make the shots when it mattered most. That’s a real MVP there. He was robbed. Just like the NBA never calls when he gets fouled. It’s all politics.
Crazy thing is there fanboys are grown ass man there are 40 plus going hard for another old man I’m pretty sure his origins area all messed up from all the steroids he’s on
@@johnmarkdalida6380exactly, uncut hoops and Lebron haters are delusional and jealous that he won MVP. Curry had the first 4 bad games and a great 2 games but Lebron dominant all games.
When we will have to remember in 10, 20 and even 40 years the 2024 Olympic basketball tournament Steph will easily be the most iconic, emblematic and heroic character of this road to gold. What he did in the 2 most important games by far of the tournament for team USA when it became tight when the pressure was at its peak and when every possession was crucial will really remain in the history of the American basketball and the Olympics in general, we experienced a legendary moment from a legendary player 👌🏽
Lebron was the most consistent throughout the tournament so he did deserve mvp. I’m a huge Steph fan but he did only show up 3 days ago. Glad he did tho
It's actually "stat padding" but I know what you meant. Bron was clearly going after all the easy rebounds early, and passing it to great shooters for wide open 3's. Most of his points came on fast breaks. He wasn't some dominant force that impacted winning like Steph was. Actually when the game matter the most, the ran offense for or thru Steph. Kerr should've done this from the 1st game and maybe these games wouldn't be so close.
lol curry is my guy! But he went off for two games! Lebron was EASILY our most consistent player on the court for team USA . Without lebron we lose 3 games get no gold .
@oni_vergil7342 Yes, the most consistent in turning the ball over. Lebron averaged 4.0 turnovers per game, when no other American had more than 1.8 and that was Embiid LOL
curry is 36 and still doing this. Bron riders need to be keeping the same energy. 36 is the age where the "Nobody can do what he's doing at his age" narratives started. As well as the "HES OLD we can't blame him for anything" narratives started.
Oh it's not for no reason, he came outta nowhere and ruined the NBAs plan for a Cleveland dynasty and LeBron getting 7 or 8 rings. That's why him, Kerr and GSW are always hated and discredited
I did always enjoy watching how Steph played basketball. Certainly took inspiration from him and tried to apply some things in my own game when I was playing
Lebron is always graded on a curve. Yeah he played greated for a near 40 year old but Steph’s apex was higher in the Olympics and they simply don’t win without Steph. Steph was the difference from a Lebronze medal to a Gold medal.
LeBron was just stat padding. They say he led in rebs but AD was the way better rebounder he had 16 off rebs and 40 total rebs in 99 total minutes LeBron had 3 off rebs and 41 total rebs in 147 total minutes. They say LeBron had the most assists but Booker was the best passer. Booker 20 assists 3 turnovers 6.6 to 1 assist to turnover ratio . LeBron 51 assists and 24 turnovers 2.1 to 1 turnover ratio. They say LeBron had the best fg% but the vast majority of his points came off dunks and Layups he only shot 30% from the 3 point line. He had a game where he had 6 turnovers and 5 assists and in the gold medal game had 5 turnovers especially down the stretch in clutch time to almost give the game away . So his stats are overrated as usual .
Facts. Although I respect Bron’s game the media will take credit from other players to boost Bron up. AD and Booker aren’t going to get the shine for being the BEST and most EFFICIENT rebounder and assist person because it looks better for LeBron if they say he LED in all those categories. And also, there is no mention of all the crucial turnovers in the final minutes by Bron. Let that have been Steph or KD or anybody else with 4 TO’s late game and the USA lose that game, they would’ve got destroyed. But honestly, thanks to Steph they got composed and won the game. Lastly, if Bron would have dunked on anybody like buddy dunked on him it would have been ALL OVER the place and replayed tirelessly.
Lebron is a fraud, his whole career is inflated and everyone knows it, only fool kids want to believe all those lies. Get over it, he´s not even a top 10 player.

Stephen Curry is clearly the MVP. Back to back insane clutch games to save Team USA. This is one of the main reasons why Curry is 1 of 2 players that I grew up idolizing alone with Kobe. Steph Curry already had his legacy moment in the 2022 NBA Finals against the Celtics and winning Finals MVP but now this has just added on his already amazing and spectacular Hall of Fame legacy even more. Steph Curry saved Team USA and all the credit should go to him
These were some fun games to watch, teams not putting up 150pts each and actually playing defense is what basketball is all about, hopefully the NBA was taking notes but probably not.
very convenient that they just so happen to bring that award back when LeBron decides to return to the Olympics eh? Wonder if it will be there in 2028 if he's not playing?
Let's look at the facts. You can make the medal rounds if a team loses 1 or even 2 games in group play. Group play all blowouts and opportunities to pad stats. Like being up 25 in the 4th quarter and still in the game when players have not played 1 minute (stat padding) minutes. Fact 2: You can not win a medal or a gold medal in the medal rounds if you lose period. So in win or go home games, Steph has 60 points 17 3's in the only 2 games that were close when losing send you back home.
In 2018, steph lost fmvp to KD in game 3 because of "Big moments over consistency" Now, when steph shows up super big, "consistency over the moment". The Media cannot make up their mind
LeBron is like the kid that thinks he deserves an A+ because he never missed class. That’s not how it works. Wanna be GOAT? Pass the GOAT test!!! When it matters most. Curry > James , ALL DAY LONG
To mention the double-dribble king and travel airlines Joel to be the MVPs of the Olympics is laughable. Middle school children do less traveling violations than those two.
This is straight lies. MJ argued with refs, puts fingers in their faces, chased and grabbed them aggressively, and was barely given technicals. Wouldn't be the case if that was any other player. Also got alot of calls most would consider "phantom" calls in which Magic joked during their 92 Dream Team photoshoot, "cant get too close to jordan or they might call foul". AND on top of that, his coach would regularly send a message to the nba and refs how he thought his players should probably have gotten more calls in which would benefit them in later games
@@rashadd2615 lol they just gave him the Olympic mvp, nicca aint earn that etha lol?? The powers that be even give him excuses, narratives, players, coaches, blaco on da low, the chip against OKC, the bubble gum machine ring, ect. & Ima Laker fan.
The MVP is based on the best player from the entire Olympics, that's LeBron. If there was a separate MVP for the elimination games, it would be Steph. The Olympics does not operate like the NBA where there is a regular season MVP and a finals MVP.

This 2024 team is nowhere close to the 1992 team. Twice they had to get absolutely carried and bailed out by one player. That being said, I’ve never seen anybody shoot these kind of shots before. Curry is undoubtedly an all-time great. We should start ask ourselves this question: is Curry actually better than LeBron? I’d say so, considering LeBron has played on multiple superteams and stacked rosters throughout his career.
yup, they saved him AND France Curry is pretty much the only player from team USA that I truly respect. When I say the refs are [REDACTED] as a Serb, people online say I am salty (which I admittedly am), that its loser talk etc. but the refs are indeed crap in the NBA and FIBA as well. As one comment pointed out: "This circus act of an Olympics deserves circus performers in its finals." BTW, Jokic is the guy with the most total points, rebounds and assists in the Olympics - looks familiar :)

Plus, I heard he was struggling with an illness, stomach virus or something like that, but I cannot confirm. I also didn't watch the bronze match (I thought the match would be on Sunday), so take my words with a huge grain of salt, as I didn't see his performance :)
Y’all do know they GAVE LeBron a double double AFTER the Olympics Finals vs France game while D Wade was being interviewed by Mike Tirico, right? As they showed Bron’s highlights before the interview, it showed he fell one assist short of a double double with 9 assist. And that was the stats all game of him not getting a double double, even as the game concluded and afterwards during immediate celebration. But then as the interview ensued after the game, his stats all of sudden showed that he got 10 assist. Lol I screenshot it and everything, sent it to my bro. Lol

Although Curry did play the best in the last two games i don’t believe he deserves to win the MVP. Lets not forget…….. he didnt show up in all the other games
@@user-mv9dk4zb5c if the rest of the team played bad like curry before the last 2 games we wouldnt have even made it to the gold medal game u understand that right?
Against Serbia it was a colective effort between Curry, Embid, Durant and LeBron, Curry did most of the heavy lifting ofc, and Durant and LeBron were crucial in the final minutes alongside Steph. LeBron has a decent argument for being overall MVP, it's not a terrible selection at all. But it is true that appart from the 1st quarter he had a bad game against France, even got posterized, and if it weren't for France missing soooo many free throws and Curry hitting 4 insane threes back to back, the US could have perfectly lost the gold medal, even with the missed free throws. LeBron or Durant may have had better tournaments overall, but Curry is the main reason they won both the semifinal and the final Also there's no way this is the greatest team in basketball history when they had to rely on two 36 year olds and a 39 year old to bail them out and clutch up in the 4th quarter, or to just keep them in the game. Without them three USA is absolutely not beating Serbia in that semifinal and it would have been veeery scary against France or Germany. Not saying the US wouldn't win in a 7 game series, but without those three it's bronze at most. France could very well get their revenge on US soil
"Against Serbia it was a colective effort between Curry, Embid, Durant and LeBron, Curry did most of the heavy lifting ofc" What a revealing first sentence.
@@Zett76 If Embid had a typical game they lose. If either LeBron or Durant don't clutch up in the 4th quarter they lose, maaaybe without one of them they can force overtime, but even then, I think they would lose it too. And obviously without Steph they lose by 10 at last. They absolutely needed all 4 to win
the US in all likelihood beats any of those teams in a 7 game series. Hell with that kind of star power compared to their opponents, they damn well better. But in that kind of tournament, all you need is to be the better team on that particular day. Whether the opponent has a great game, the US has a bad game, or a combination of the two. Just like it is in March Madness, or the NFL "any given Sunday."
@@davidriedy5977 Without those three, on those two days, they at least get stomped by Serbia, probably would lose against France too, it would have been close.

2 better games can make you sensation through social media, but 2 games in Olympic does not make you an mvp.Why? bec , mvp is when you played best through out the OLYMPIC run and THIS IS WHAT LBJ DID ,HE PLAYED EXCELLENT HE LED THE USA TEAM IN EXCELLENCE, HE NEVER TAKES CREDIT IN SOCIAL MEDIA IN LAST TWO GAMES, BUT NO DOUBT, HE IS THE MVP ,WHY? , LOOK HOW HE IMPACT THE WHOLE TEAM, LOOK THE STATS, IN FACT AS I OBSERVE THE GAME LEBRON HAS THE ABILITY TO MAKE OTHER TEAM MATES SUCCEED.CHARACTER & STATS, ACCOMPLISHMENT MAKES HIM GOAT..THERE IS NO FINALS MVP IN PARIS ONLY OLYMPIC MVP
Damn, the LeBron hate boner here is ridiculous. You can glaze Curry without shitting on LeBron, both played their role and I'd consider both of them to be MVPs this year.
Dude LeBron deserved MVP lol Steph had 2 good games calm down 😂 I’m a freaking Steph fan!!! I love Steph and I’m a Kobe > Bron type guy! No disrespect to Steph but LeBron was the leader and if it wasn’t for his contribution there would’ve been no gold. Stop this weak narrative. MVP isn’t won on 2 games . Consistency is Key. I love Steph but no … stop it
Disagree. You take away Lebron & Steph against Puerto Rico, Brazil, South Sudan, & it’s still a U.S. blowout. But you go against a Serb team that is on Fire all throughout the contest & is building non-stop momentum, then you need that mofo like Steph to match em.
there's no way you can be in the GOAT conversation to me if you're not a closer. MJ was a closer. Kobe was a closer. Even look at other sports. You think Tom Brady wasn't a closer? That's the standard for being in that GOAT conversation. If you can't rise to the occasion on a consistent basis, you ain't that dude. No matter how much the media might try to push that propaganda
Finals Mvps (individual player) Jordan 6 LeBron 4 Shaq 3 Kobe 2 Best player on teams championships Jordan 6 LeBron 4 Kobe 2 Shaquille O'Neal 3 finals mvps and best player on Lakers 3peat and Kobe Bryant a sidekick like Pippen 6 rings 🐐Jordan > LeBron > Shaq > Kobe LeBron James PPG, FG%, 3pt%, TS%, REB, AST, STL, BLK higher then Kobe Bryant. So it's pretty clear LeBron the better player 🤭 LeBron 40,474 pts on 50.6% fg more points then Kobe 33,643 pts on 44.7% fg LeBron 1st all time points Kobe 1st all time missed shots Bleacher report top 50 greatest NBA players all time 1. Michael Jordan 2. LeBron James 3. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar 6. Shaquille O'Neal 7. Tim Duncan 14. Kobe Bryant Kobe Bryant 44.7% fg only 32.9% 3pt most missed shots in the NBA history not even top 10 player all time that's why Bleacher report has him #14 Kobe 15 seasons he didn't win championship including being swept 3 times by Jazz 4-0 in 1998 playoffs and by Spurs 4-0 in 1999 playoffs and by Mavericks 4-0 in 2012 playoffs lol
@@ayo5257 he leads in stats lol that's lebron's career completely summed up. Who cares what impact he has on his team, the only thing that matters is that he gets HIS stats.
@ayo5257 how many times did you copy nd paste this?? 😂😂😂 Just tryna look at comments nd ppls takes nd you're on like 80% of em with this exact comment lol
Nobody ever remembers group games. Everyone will FOREVER remember the last two games and who was the one carrying team USA on his back: Sir Captain America Stephen GOLD Curry 🥇
Cut the crap. You showed Shannon saying Lebron was the MVP and then cut it off…… Shannon went on to say that Curry was the MVP the last two games not the whole tournament. Everyone could see that Curry was the best player the last two games but up until that point he was awful. Also your point about how Lebron didn’t turn up against teams like Serbia….the first game Lebron dominated against them. Paul George is chatting crap though…. Granted. I’m no Lebron fan but can see the hate coming from you here.
I promise curry doesn’t care that he didn’t get mvp😂y’all get so emotional for somebody who even know you exist😂bunch middle aged grumpy men in the comments
Yeah let's ignore the fact that Curry was a no-show for 66% of the games. Im no Lebron fan, but in this particular situation, there's no agenda being pushed here. Lebron was best player overall throughout the entire competition.
Bro is straight up a Lebron hater. It’s like so fucking crazy. Everything you post is about how you hate Lebron, like dude stop reverse glazing it’s actually crazy
You can tell this dude has trouble sleeping because lebron randomly pops into his head while hes in bed and he starts gritting his teeth as his fists start clencing and shaking from anger💀😭
Curry is so good, there are other players around in the league that hate him to the core but need to try their best to pretend they dont because they know there's no real reason or thing they could say
