A star-studded United States side showed their quality when it mattered as they fought back from a 13-point deficit to beat Serbia in a thrilling Olympic men's basketball semi-final.
This Gen Z ensemble cast, featuring four NBA regular season MVP winners - James, Curry, Kevin Durant and Joel Embiid - 11 NBA All-Stars and seven NBA champions, is not far behind. Jokic looked on course to upstage his American opponents, playing a key role as Serbia stifled them in a dominant first half.Three-pointers from Durant and Embiid started to turn the tide in the last quarter before James bustled through to put them level at 84-84.
Serbia were unhappy with some of the refereeing decisions in the clutch moments, making their feelings known by lambasting the officials as they walked off the floor.Earlier, France were helped by a frenzied home crowd as they edged past Germany 73-69.
