Hard not to put sports figures on a pedestal when they look and act so darn ... I dunno ... likable.

I have a hard time even caring for this US team, I felt nothing during that comeback, it's just expected when you have 12 or so of the best 20 players in the world. I was cheering much harder for Greece.

This being a Deadline headline is just incredibly funny.

Expected or not I won't feel bad or not care because my country has the best players, I love it.

It’s hilarious they don’t really seem to care about whether team USA wins or not, just that their guy gets appropriate burn.

Germany tried to fight back from down 18 in the 3rd. But Serbia kept putting them away. Happy for them after they nearly beat the US. Fun game.

Feel like France doesn't make the final if the games aren't in Paris :dontknow:

Their team play leaves a lot to be desired this entire tourney

Lebron still has that insane burst to the rim with great finesse while finishing, he looks like he is 30. Pretty remarkable and no human in history could do this at his age I'm pretty confident. He looks like the best player on the floor consistently. Not a Lebron truther but the truth is kinda staring us in the face

This is a great lineup w/ Curry/Book/Bron/KD/Bam. Could swap in AD for Bam but either one is good

Give him Serbia supporting cast around Joker and they could've beat anybody.

39 year old Lebron can still bring it.
