Marbury questioned: The Olympic MVP was given to the wrong person, James doesn't deserve it this time
With the successful victory of the US men's basketball team, James was elected the Most Valuable Player (MVP) of this Olympics, but American basketball star Marbury obviously has a different opinion.
In this game, Marbury observed from the sidelines as James was named the Olympic MVP. On social media, Marbury expressed his disagreement, stating: "They awarded the MVP to the wrong person. Perhaps there was a mix-up with the names. I believe we need to revisit Curry's performance. He demonstrated that he was the best shooter ever at that moment. In international competitions, if you can't shoot, you won't get the ball at the end of the game."
Marbury continued: "I understand that LeBron is considered the king by many, but what I want to say is: when you give him an honor that he doesn't truly deserve, you're essentially suggesting that based on his past achievements, he should receive such a prestigious accolade on the biggest stage. No, he doesn't deserve it this time."
During the Olympics, James averaged 14.2 points, 6.8 rebounds, and 8.5 assists per game, while Curry averaged 14.8 points, 3.2 rebounds, and 3.5 assists per game. However, Curry excelled particularly in the semifinals and finals, scoring 36 points and 24 points respectively.
