Gilbert Arenas, a former NBA player, entered the ongoing, contentious discussion on who should have won the Olympic MVP award: Steph Curry or LeBron James. Many spectators, previous players, and commentators questioned whether LeBron deserved the trophy more than Steph, who outperformed him in the competition’s final two games.
Rob Parker, however, decided to end this enthusiasm among basketball fans by asserting that Curry’s performance in the gold medal game was not pivotal. The NBA commentator reiterated his opinion a day later. After backlash from people like Doug Gottlieb and Gilbert Arenas for appearing to be a turnoff, he felt compelled to explain.
He said, “I didn’t trash Steph Curry and say he was garbage or that his performance in the gold medal game was terrible or whatever. He made those four threes at the end. I simply stated facts… Guys like Gilbert Arenas and Doug Gottlieb all got their panties in a bunch because they don’t know what the definition of clutch is. You look at the shots he made and I said they were big shots.”
Who do you think should have been the MVP? However, both the superstars played their roles superbly. Either of them deserves to be the MVP, and in the end, they get to celebrate the Gold, which matters the most.
LeBron James Says Paris Might Be His Last Olympics
At the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris, LeBron James earned his third and possibly his last gold medal. Even though the 2028 Olympics will take place in his home city of Los Angeles, he stated there is minimal possibility he will return for another run.
Following their gold medal-winning victory over the host nation, France, the 39-year-old LA Lakers superstar declared that he would not compete in the following Olympics, where he would be 43.
James said, “No, I can’t see myself playing in L.A., but I also didn’t see myself playing in Paris. Four years from now, no, I can’t see myself (playing at the Olympics).”
Team USA won their 17th overall and fifth consecutive gold medal in the Olympics under LeBron James’ leadership. In his fourth Olympic season, he averaged 13.2 points, 8.5 assists, 6.8 rebounds, and 1.3 steals over six games, making him an all-around player. In 2004, James made his Olympic debut in Athens, where the United States had to settle for bronze.

Kanye featured a lyrical reference to Taylor Swift’s romance with the Kansas City Chiefs tight end. “I twist my Taylor spliffs tight at the end like Travis Kelce,” Lil Wayne raps on the track “Lifestyle (Demo).”
“Mental illness on full display,” Ed wrote in response.
Honestly, those lyrics are quite tame to what we have heard in the past.
Taylor Swift and Kanye West have not been on the same page for years, which started with West interrupting Swift’s acceptance speech at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards.
