On Saturday, US Men's Basketball captured the gold medal in 2024 Paris Games after defeating France, the hosts, 98-87.

It is the fifth consecutive gold medal in men’s basketball.

 In a rematch of the Tokyo Olympic finals, both teams had a classic and heroic game against each other for gold. .

American basketball icon Steph Curry, in his first Olympics and the one who saved US from the falling against Serbia, drove the US with 24 points, made four crucial 3-pointers inside of 3 minutes to go.

Stephen Curry captured the first gold Olympic medal in his career, and gained it with one of the stars of his team's rival LeBron James.

With this victory, Curry becomes one of the few American basketball stars who achieved all Basketball domestic and international titles. 

James also reached another milestone to become the first American basketball player to win a gold Olympic medal in three different decades (2008-2012- 2024).

Jayson Tatum, Jrue Holiday, and Derrick White concluded their season with the best ending after capturing the gold with the US Basketball team, after winning NBA title with Boston Celtics.
