And that’s a relief! With a blowout win over Serbia on Tuesday, the pressure seemed to shift away from the Team USA camp. The nervy win over Australia sparked outright scrutiny of their gold medal credentials, but with normalcy resumed, the mood in the camp changed, reflected by the gleeful faces of LeBron James, Stephen Curry, and Co.

There will be two more exhibition matches for Team USA before tipping off their Paris Olympics campaign. With no time to waste, the practice was in full swing today, but it wouldn’t feel like one if there were no laughs and jokes around. LeBron James, being the most senior one out there, took it upon himself to lighten up the mood of the players, and he did so in a hilarious fashion.

The NBA posted a video on X with the caption, “Gotta play the angles” followed by laughing emojis. On viewing, LeBron was seen hitting the ball against the wall, which deflected to Anthony Edwards. His pass then found Kevin Durant, who was back in training following his calf troubles, and he sank his shot, making it a flawless move. Stephen Curry certainly saw the humor in it, as he was seen tapping LeBron while trying to control his laughter.

Of course, there wouldn’t be a wall during the games to bounce the ball off, but the little innovation from the 39-year-old was something to laugh about. Curry’s reaction to it made the act more special as the fans couldn’t get enough of the duo and joined in on the fun.

Fans in splits after LeBron James’ unreal play

Seeing LeBron and Curry play together is what sweet dreams are made of and with Team USA finally giving the fans the opportunity, the fans only wished it was any sooner. “Curry like, why haven’t we played together by now?” commented an X user.

Another fan added, “LeBron and Steph been flirting the whole time.” The chemistry between LeBron and Curry has been something to relish for the hoop lovers. Ever since their alley-oop play against Canada, the fans wanted more and more.

“U know Bron and Steph loving playing together,” commented a third fan. The fact that the duo is making the most of their time playing together gives off nothing but good vibes. Everyone knows how important these two will be in Paris if Team USA is to get its fifth consecutive Olympic gold. So staying on the same page is the need of the hour and so far, it’s been all love between the former rivals.

“FIBA rules,” another fan pointed out. No, FIBA rules won’t allow any out-of-bounds play, but it’s now a part of a running gag due to the variations in rules between FIBA and the NBA. In case you’re curious, you can go through the rules here.

LeBron and Co. will take on South Sudan at London’s O2 arena on July 21st, before playing against FIBA World Championship winners, Germany on the 23rd. These two final opportunities for tuning will give Steve Kerr the ultimate outlook of the team heading to Paris. How do you rate Team USA’s chances at the Olympics? Let us know in the comments.
