LeBron James gives USA men's basketball team perfect two-word nickname after Olympics triumph
LeBron James officially hailed the 2024 Team USA men's basketball with the perfect nickname after striking gold in Paris.
On Saturday, the Americans completed their mission against host nation France, winning 98-87 in the gold medal game.
Postgame, James was asked: 'There's the dream team, [the] redeem team, what's this team?'
'The Avengers,' James said.
The reference to the Marvel series seems fitting, as the team boasts one of the most star-studded lineups to represent the United States at the games.
