The old guard of the United States’ men’s team fought back to stun Serbia and reach the 2024 Olympic Games basketball final and LeBron James’ message to Steph Curry has quickly gone viral online.

Serbia once led the contest by 17 points as the Denver Nuggets’ Nikola Jokic seemed poised to pull off a miracle but a 32-15 scoreline saw Steve Kerr’s USA come back from the brink to book their place against France.

The Golden State Warriors’ Curry posted 36 points whilst LeBron scored a triple-double (16-12-10) at the Accor Arena in Paris and the Los Angeles Lakers‘ star’s war cry has quickly gone viral online after the slender 95-91 win.

“One more.. one f—ing more,” James said to his teammates. “We already knew we were going to be tested this f—ng tournament.

“Motherf**kin’ Chef & Joe [Curry and Joel Embiid], y’all mother**kers carried us tonight. One more goddammit.”

The USA have now won all of their games, but this was the first time they’ve truly been tested and had to dig deep to pull the rabbit out of the hat.

The game went viral online for the roles of James, Curry and Durant. The NBA stars are in their senior years of the sport, and this will likely be their final Olympic Games, so they gave fans one more classic and they loved it.

One user posted to X.com, formerly Twitter, “What a good leader.”

A second added, “Gave me goosebumps, bro.”

A third commented, “That’s a leader!!!”

Michigan Wolverines HC Sherrone Moore Provides Major Update On Team’s Starting QB Plans For 2024 Season With JJ McCarthy No Longer Around

Michigan Wolverines head football coach Sherrone Moore provided an interesting update on his team’s plans at quarterback as the regular season draws closer.

The defending national champions will look a lot different this year. Head coach Jim Harbaugh returned to the NFL after accepting the Los Angeles Chargers’ HC vacancy, and Moore was named the new head coach of the Michigan Wolverines.

Michigan will also have a new starting quarterback. Last year’s signal-caller, JJ McCarthy, declared for the 2024 NFL Draft and was taken 10th overall by the Minnesota Vikings.

Davis Warren, Jack Tuttle and Alex Orji are the three front-runners for the starting job, according to Tony Garcia of the Detroit Free Press. Tuttle attempted 17 passes in minimal action last season, completing 15 of them for 130 yards and a touchdown.

With the Aug. 31 season opener against Fresno State drawing closer, Moore stresses that he’s still taking his time deciding on the new starting QB in Ann Arbor:

“The ideal timeline is when we feel like we’ve got the guy who will help us win. There’s not a date, not a time. We will have a feel as a staff…(Offensive coordinator) Kirk Campbell is a phenomenal coach…he will make a great decision and we will be there to make it together.”
