Who was the best player for Team USA throughout the Olympics?

[1987_Lakers]

LeBron was the most consistent player, Steph was very quiet in the first few games, but stepped it up in a huge way the last two games. Booker I thought was terrific the entire torunament, KD was instant offense, but we saw better performances from him in past Olympics.

[8Ball]

Bron based off of consistency of entire tournament.


Steph based off of the last 2 games which were crucial.

[RRR3]

Haliburton

[tpols]

I mean Curry saved them vs Serbia when they were on the brink of losing, and then totally daggered France when they cut the lead to 3 with couple minutes left.

Contextually, Steph was clearly their best player when it mattered. 100%.

Actually 1000%.

[Carbine]

Easily Steph. It was the only two close games they had and he played as well as you can offensively in the semi and was as clutch as you can ever be in this game down the stretch.

Chef Curry by far.

You gotta play when it counts the most.

Chef Curry saved LeBronze from becoming LeBronzeBronze!. :lol

[1987_Lakers]

Curry was the worst player on the roster along with Tatum for the first 4 games, question is did he do enough to overthrow Bron in his last two games?

LeBron had a triple double vs Serbia when Curry went off and he had another consistent game today with his playmaking and timely buckets.

[tpols]

I mean obviously.

People don't care about 30 point blowouts vs Brazil and Puerto Rico.

This is why people don't respect Lebron stans. You guys don't understand context.

Triple double in FIBA play is a big accomplishment considering games are only 40 minutes long. He also locked up Jokic in the 4th in that very same game.

lol.

He only guarded Joker because he had 4 fouls by then. accidental 5th joker foul will be fouling out.

Before that, LeBronze was staying 10 feet away from Joker protecting himself from foul trouble.

GTFO with all that weak sauce.

[8Ball]

If Jordan was tasked with guarding Jokic in the 4th, Jordan would have lost America the game.


Instead Joker went SCORELESS during the minutes that Bron was guarding him in the 4th. Bron took body blows from Joker and with held the punishment.



GOAT.

So good defense by someone gets taken away based on the opponent's number of fouls. Got it.

Not to mention fouls are usually committed on the defensive end.

You retarded.

Made a poll on realgm if you guys are interested.

The team would've had big blowouts every game if bron-ball wasn't on the team - the only reason the games were close and teammates were inconsistent is because Kerr catered to "bron-ball".. He's hypnotized by the fake media just like everyone else.

Ultimately, Curry, KD and Lebron grew up in previous eras with a format that produced great players, so we won't win the Olympics again because the current NBA format doesn't produce great players.. Curry, KD and Lebron became good because they grew up BEFORE the current beginner format.. So this was our last gold

[90sgoat]

Curry was the best in the final two games, Durant best in group stage, most important was Embiid.

US doesn't beat Serbia without Embiid, it's that simple.

Lebron probably was important to keep ego's in check, but he wasn't very good. Lots of turnovers.

[AlternativeAcc.]

Lebron
Durant
Booker

In that order.

No other notable performances from others, it was mainly those 3 guys who carried.

Lebron had the greatest all-around Olympics ever. Still arguably the best player in the world
