    That guys arm is so lucky Lebron got all ball lmao

    It is wild because a lot of professional volleyball players are like super athletic like they’re 6’8-6’10 in the front row and have insane verticals. I feel like if they had trained as basketball players they’d be pretty damn good

    dude left after the game and went straight back to working the oil rigs

    Kobe in the cut… coming to help too, but slipped

    😢 good times

    Sidenote, imagine Giannis playing volleyball.

    Man I wish Lebron had entered the dunk contest when he was younger we could have seen some truly freaky shit.

    Man that horn sound gives me nostalgia watching the Olympics, so many different events with the family every day

    Love Olympics season

    Vicious block. Damn near took man’s arm off.

    I always laughed how more aggressive USA plays against other countries, the oponent has to up theirs each time.

    The spike block feels probably the best… but I wish Lebron was more of a snatch-the-ball-from-your-hands type blocker. I think those are more demoralizing imo. Like, bro, I had time to take the ball away from you instead of spiking it, type thing.

    Didn’t even help him up after 🤔
    I could do that in my prime but at least I would give a hand after. Looks like they don’t teach sportsmanship where lebron’s from 😂

    It’s so insane to look back at these highlights and remember how young he was. He was only 23!!! Just compare him to the players that are that age right now. He was a legit superstar top 5 in the league already that young in his career. He really is and was built different

    Goodness. That’s a setting the tone kind of block. Disgusting.

  14. Jabba-da-slut

    Thank god – I’m so tired of seeing Angola win everything all the time

    One of those things. I just rewatched The Redeem Team on Netflix. The did not include this play. When this happened live, it was a clear response to the player being blocked celebrating after blocking a USA players shot on the other end.

    It was a Lebron has his teammates back moment.

  17. Soft-Rains

    Beating up on a clearly outmatched opponent is lame. Wouldn’t be surprised if Lebron is answering something with this though.

  18. desirox

    Lebron was an athletic demigod on that redeem team. Just absurd shit

    Really hope we get Lebron, Curry, KD, etc one last time in the 24 Olympics.
