In this episode of the Good word with good willYahoo Sports senior NBA reporter Vincent Goodwill joins James Edwards III to talk all things Team USA after LeBron James, Kevin Durant and Steph Curry secured gold with a win over France on Saturday.
The boys talk about everyone who contributed to the victory and look back at the exciting game against Serbia that led to this participation in the gold medal game. Steph Curry also finally found his 3-point shot and decided the game for the Americans.
With the win, Kevin Durant became the first male basketball player in history to win four gold medals. The guys talk about why international basketball suits KD’s game and ask if he’s the best basketball player in Olympic history.
With so many future Hall of Famers on the list, it’s natural to wonder, is this team better than the 1992 Olympic Dream Team or the 2008 Olympic Redemption Team? The guys pitted the lists against each other to try and come up with a fair answer.
Vinnie and James agree that Steve Kerr has been in a precarious position with this team, which is why he has been criticized for his rotations despite his undefeated record. They question whether he will still be the coach of Team USA at the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles.
Speaking of, the guys wonder who the team will be built around when LeBron, Curry, and Durant are gone in four years. Is it time to make everything about Anthony Edwards?
