On Saturday afternoon, Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James helped lead Team USA to a 98-87 victory over France.

Team USA won its fifth straight Gold medal (James now has three).

James finished with 14 points, six rebounds, ten assists, two steals and one block while shooting 6/10 from the field and 1/2 from the three-point range.

After the game, head coach Steve Kerr spoke about James.

Kerr: “What a blessing to coach him finally after all these years of coaching against him and trying to figure out how to beat him. To watch him up close, I’ve said this these past few weeks. Just to see his approach, to see his professionalism, how coachable he is. Then, of course, how gifted he is at everything. At every part of the game he seems to have mastered. I’m thrilled to have been able to coach him these last six weeks. I’m a LeBron fan for life.”

James was named as the Men’s Basketball Olympics MVP.
