The Team USA Men’s Basketball Team entered the 2024 Summer Olympics with a lot of question marks after two narrow victories over weaker opponents in the lead up to the Games.
But they quickly erased doubts with a resounding blowout win over Serbia in their Olympic opener on Sunday.
However, despite the big win, there’s still drama surrounding Team USA because, of course, there is.
Head coach Steve Kerr elected not to play Boston Celtics star Jayson Tatum at all in the game. Clearly, that strategy worked perfectly because the American squad defeated Serbia by 26 points.

What an awesome display of skateboarding.
The 2024 Paris Olympics are already off to a thrilling start, and one of the most exciting events so far has been Men’s Street Skateboarding. A jam-packed group was headlined by arguably the greatest competitive skater ever trying to get his groove back, and also included a young American looking to build on a stellar showing in Tokyo, and the eventual champion from Japan. It was a fantastic show from start to finish.
Let’s start with the men’s finals.
A’ja Wilson was dominant, tallying a double-double, while WNBA teammate Chelsea Gray dished out a game-high 13 assists en route to a 102-76 win over Japan.
The American women are on a 55-game winning streak at the Olympics. Now, Team USA takes on Japan in a gold-medal rematch. Keep up with all the action.
