LeBron James Makes Olympic History with Triple-Double Performance Against Serbia

If it was Stephen Curry, with his 36 points and 9 3-point shots, who stood out the most – and that’s quite normal given his performance – in this superb semi-final between the United States and Serbia, we must not forget LeBron Jamesexcellent and which released a historic part for two reasons.

By compiling 16 points, 12 rebounds and 10 assists, the Team USA star has therefore achieved a triple-double. This is no small feat because it is only the fourth time in the history of the Olympic Games that this has happened. It is the first historical fact.

Before him, Sasha Belov, for the USSR in 1976 against Canada, had posted 23 points, 14 rebounds and 10 assists. We also remember that, in 2021 against France in the semi-final, Luka Doncic had scored 16 points, distributed 18 assists and taken 10 rebounds.

Second highest passer and interceptor in the history of the Games

Between these two performances, LeBron James had done the same in 2012, against Australia, with 11 points, 14 rebounds and 12 assists. This is the second historical fact: the Lakers player thus becomes the only player in the history of the Olympic Games to display several triple-doubles to his credit. All this at the age of 39…

Still on the Olympic statistics front, the double gold medallist is now the second best passer in the history of the competition, with 129 passes, behind Sarunas Jasikevicius’ 160. He is also two interceptions (he currently has 42) away from being the sole record holder in this area, ahead of Andrei Kirilenko’s 43 stolen balls.

Rafael Nadal Announces Retirement: A Tribute to His Legendary Career and Impact on Tennis

Published

on

October 10, 2024

By

The 38-year-old tennis icon has been injured during the final stages of his career, but played doubles with compatriot Carlos Alcaraz during last summer’s Olympics in Paris.

Now the career ends – but the plan is that this will only happen after the Davis Cup finals, which take place between November 19 and 24 in Málaga. Spain is there in the quarter-finals against the Netherlands.

In a video on X, Nadal says the following about the decision:

In life, everything has a beginning and an end.

– The truth is that there have been some difficult years, especially the last two. I don’t feel like I’ve been able to play without restrictions.

– It is obviously a difficult decision, which took me time to arrive at. But in life everything has a beginning and an end, and I feel this is the right time to end a career that has been long and so much more successful than I could have ever imagined.

Rafael Nadal has long, along with players like Swiss Roger Federer and Serbian Novak Djokovic, dominated tennis. The Spaniard has a total of 92 ATP titles to his credit.

– I feel so lucky for all the things I have been able to experience, he states.

The 38-year-old missed almost all of 2023 due to hip problems. This year, the Spaniard has only been in one of four grand slam tournaments, and then (in the French Championships) it was an exit in the first round.

So Nadal’s plan is to complete his career in just over a month, in Spain in particular.

– I am very much looking forward to my last tournament being the Davis Cup, and to being able to represent my country, he says. READ FULL STORY HERE>>>CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE READING>>>

– It feels like the circle is closing, because one of my first big moments as a professional tennis player was the Davis Cup final in Seville in 2004 (where a teenage Nadal defeated the American Andy Roddick).
