FT – Men’s Basketball Final: France 87-98 USA
A third gold medal for LeBron James.
And the same crowd who jeered and booed him out on to court two hours ago give the 39-year-old the warmest reception as he heads off draped in the Stars and Stripes.
It is a fourth gold for 35-year-old Durant, too, dating back to London 2012.
For this legendary pair and Curry, they knew this was their last shot at Olympics gold together.
They have delivered in style.
USA win Basketball gold!
Men’s Basketball Final: France 87-98 USA
IT IS ALL OVER!
Curry steals it and holds on to draw the foul.
And James makes the long pass to wind down the final three seconds.
That’s it, there goes the final buzzer.
USA are the Olympic champions.
France gave it a real good go but they were undone by the all-stars.
Well, in truth, one all-star in particular.
And his name is Wardell Stephen Curry II.
EIGHT threes from the 36-year-old to drag his nation to glory and the four-time NBA champion will now collect an Olympic gold medal.
Men’s Basketball Final: France 87-96 USA
Into the final minute and Wembanyama makes the three. Six points in it again.
OH STEPH CURRY STOP IT!
Is that the three that seals it?
He thinks so!
And he celebrates by pretending to fall asleep – he has put the French gold bid to bed!
