Team USA nearly suffered their most embarrassing loss in years.

On Saturday afternoon, Team USA opened as 43-point favorites against South Sudan but found themselves down double digits at halftime.

Thankfully for Team USA, LeBron James is still pretty good at basketball and can lead a team to victory on his own.

With his team down one point, LeBron was able to secure the game-winning bucket 8 seconds left to go in the game.

Team USA survived their latest scare after South Sudan was unable to score with 8 seconds left in the fourth quarter.

LeBron finished with 23 points, 6 rebounds, and 6 assists in Team USA’s one-point win vs South Sudan.

If LeBron hadn’t played well, there’s a good chance that this Team USA team would have suffered their most embarrassing loss in International play.
