Los Angeles Lakers’ forward Lebron James led Team USA to victory after a close call with South Sudan, 101-100. James was 9-13 with 23 points, seven rebounds, and three assists. Even with the win, this team USA which was touted as the greatest lineup ever assembled, isn't as invincible as they think they are. 

 

At one point, USA was down 13 to South Sudan, which is a team full of former NBA players who didn’t make it in the league. Near the end of the game with 20 seconds left, the USA was down a point, and the 39-year-old James took matters into his own hands, scoring the game winning shot. 

 

After this close call, plus the last couple close calls against Australia and Canada, this USA team needs to figure out their problems, and come to play against Germany. They cannot rely on the oldest member of the team.
