Summary

The US won a gold in Paris on Saturday, in an entertaining game featuring a Steph Curry heater for the ages as the Americans beat France. But it was LeBron James who walked away with the tournament MVP award, based on a run of consistency and high performance that outdid Curry, who really only played well for the semi-final vs. Serbia and then again vs. France. Not for nothing, because those games were important, but James was a deserving recipient for sure. And while it's reasonable to discuss where this achievement fits in a long list of incredible accomplishments, one thing is clear -- winning this gold was a very meaningful thing for him. As it was for Anthony Davis, who played big minutes on Saturday, including down the stretch, and was a monster on both ends, coming up with four blocks overall, grabbing critical rebounds and generally shoving the French around. AD says he plans to play in LA in 2028. LeBron says he doesn't see it happening. But is it that far fetched? Let's say James is still active, or is just wrapping up his career in the summer of '28. Is it that crazy to think there could be a spot for him? Especially since this format suits him so well? Long rest before the games, light load during the tournament, last hurrah and all that? It's fun to think about at least, because it gets to larger questions about just how long his career is going to last. Because right now, at least, it seems like his own willingness to play will be the deciding factor, not health or decline. HOSTS: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky SEGMENT 1: Team USA wins gold, LeBron is MVP. SEGMENT 2: Where does this fit into LeBron's career legacy? SEGMENT 3: Who plays in '28? AD says yes, is it crazy to think LeBron might, too?
