LeBron James and Steph Curry fight for justice when the referee is criticized after penalizing Anthony Davis. We saw in the first USA match how much influence LeBron James had on the referees. The same thing happened again after Anthony Davis was penalized for a foul in the match against South Sudan. And this time LeBron didn’t come alone to the protest party! As the cameras focused on the game referee, LeBron James, Stephen Curry and Kevin Durant surrounded him, almost overpowering an Olympic referee. Legendary NBA stars pleaded with the referee after Anthony Davis’ elbow hit Wenyen Gabriel in the stomach. Davis is done with the call. He was clearly disappointed, shaking his head, smiling in disbelief, because to Davis, it was an “accident.” For him, it was just him trying to move to the side to throw.

Curry played poorly, Anthony Edwards was far from his best and Even LeBron James found it difficult to start with 6 turnovers. But it’s about sending a message that these guys are not here to joke around. And they sent it loud and clear to the referees. Officiating at the 2024 Paris Olympics caused quite a bit of controversy after the match between France and Japan due to some cheating decisions.
