LeBron James named Paris Olympics MVP

In Paris, the USA defeated France 98-87 to win the gold medal. LeBron James won his third and last gold medal of his career with the victory, giving the Americans their fifth gold medal in a row. Although defeating Les Blues in their homeland wasn't simple, Steph Curry's four 3-pointers in the last quarter effectively silenced the French.

Leading the charge was LeBron, who finished the game with 14 points, 10 assists, and six rebounds while flirting with a triple-double. The King was declared the official MVP of the Paris Olympics mostly due to his domination throughout the competition. It was evident that LeBron is the best player in the world, both on the biggest platform and with one of the greatest teams ever built. LeBron finished second in scoring, behind only Curry, and led Team USA in rebounds, assists, and efficiency. He averaged 14.2 points, 6.8 rebounds, and 8.3 assists at the end of the competition.
