In the final scene of the popular sports movie “he Got the Game” featuring Hall of Famer Spike Lee, inmate Denzel Washington throws a basketball over a cage wall. The ball magically crosses space and time and lands in the main square of the state in the hands of his son, played by Ray Allen. The mystique of the finale is still polarizing, but it perfectly expressed the passage of the Torch, the transfer of energy, in a way that few directors have done before or since. Twenty-five years after, on Wednesday night at the T-Mobile feeder center, I remembered the moment when LeBron James of the U.S. national team played in the USA… USA., restored the rebound in defense, saw Anthony Edwards return to the transition period, and threw a quarterback-style pass at him, which Edwards implemented with With the help of a Dunk at the other end-basketball is present and will soon end by throwing the ball into his bright future. Two overlapping time frames. It was poetry.+

more “It was crazy,” Edwards told The Guardian when asked about this important point. “It’s crazy, man, playing on the field with LeBron and Steph. It’s a dream come true. I remember seeing her in the finale. So, being in the room with them, sitting on the bus with them, all that. I just sucked it all out.”
While he clearly relishes the opportunity to be surrounded by his childhood heroes, Edwards showed off his patented swagger earlier this week, saying he still feels like a “better choice” even on a team made up of more senior and experienced future Hall of Fame members. And he’s not necessarily wrong, at least if the first results are any indication. Although Edwards came off the bench at the first U.S. public exhibition before the Paris Olympics, the 86-72 victory over Canada at Wednesday’s exhibition proved to be an invaluable contribution and may even have earned him a starting spot as the youngest player of the alignment.
Coach Steve Kerr’s starting quintet, consisting (at the moment) of James, Curry, Devin Booker, Jr. Holliday and Joel Embiid (who was the victim of a foul after just 12 minutes), began a slow start. The Canadian national team, with a record 10 NBA players in its lineup, looked like a team struggling. This was the matter at least until the arrival of the second American unit. This unity was emphasized by Edwards (who will turn 23 at the Olympics), Anthony Davis, Bam Adebayo, Tyreese Haliburton and Jason Tatum. A much younger group brought much-needed American defensive power to the competition, which was reflected in the after performances of the starting line-up and paved the way for a decisive American victory.
In the second half, after Edwards and company showed energy, we watched basketball with euphoria. Of course, it was an inherent novelty to see so many great people of all time on the same field (no wonder the team was called the Avengers) and an incredible crowd of 20,757 people in the stands, which is a record for any game at the T-Mobile Arena… Former US President Barack Obama happened to attend the show from the podium, along with Dwyane Wade, Carmelo Anthony and many other retired NBA legends with Olympic pedigree as guests of American basketball. But beyond that, there was a distinct electricity flowing through the arena, which was due to a certain factor: these guys, young and old, experienced and fresh, were clearly having the best time of their lives there.
In particular, a moment comes to mind to demonstrate this: during the feverish fasting break in the third quarter, when the U.S. national team was in the United States. The United States. James began to retreat with a lead that he would keep until the end, and caught another rebound that he threw when passing to Curry. Curry flew across the field wagging his tongue, 39-year-old James furiously chased him before sending him back to LeBron for a loud dunk.
