After dominating the group stage of the 2024 Paris Olympics, USA Basketball is ready for even bigger challenges in the knockout round.
LeBron James said he has been scouting Brazil ahead of Tuesday's quarterfinal matchup.
"I've watched all the games," James said, per ESPN's Brian Windhorst. "They're very dedicated to their offensive and defensive systems."
Team USA head coach Steve Kerr also had praise for his team's Brazilian opponents.
"They're very physical. I think they're the No. 1 offensive rebounding team in the tournament," Kerr said, per Windhorst.
