On Saturday, Team USA concluded their group stage at the 2024 Olympics with a decisive 104-83 victory over Puerto Rico, a game that was not as close as the final score indicates.
While Joel Embiid’s playful interaction with a hostile crowd in Lille, France provided some entertainment, the most significant revelation from Saturday’s match was undoubtedly Anthony Edwards’ ongoing rise.
In fact, during the blowout win against Puerto Rico, one particular play truly cemented that rise.
However, this ascent began well before Edwards delivered an impressive windmill dunk in transition to punctuate the victory. It began long before he scored 26 points on an efficient 11-of-15 shooting performance. It even started prior to him emerging as Team USA’s leading scorer in this group phase.
Edwards has been steadily progressing for several months now. Leading one of the most esteemed national teams in Olympic history towards another gold medal appears to be just another milestone for him to achieve.
Playing on a defense-oriented team designed to allow him to spearhead their offense, he averaged 25.9 points and 5.1 assists during the past season. Then he once again raised his performance level during the playoffs like he has done consistently for three consecutive years.
This spring and summer alone saw him defeat Kevin Durant and the Phoenix Suns while also eliminating last year’s champions, the Denver Nuggets—averaging an impressive 27.6 points and 6.5 assists while hitting shots at a rate of 40 percent from beyond the arc.
Following extensive discussions regarding his potential as “the next face of the NBA,” Edwards joined a U.S team boasting KD (widely considered one of history’s greatest Olympic basketball players), LeBron James (often cited as possibly basketball’s greatest player), alongside Stephen Curry (regarded as unparalleled when it comes to shooting).
Most emerging talents would have likely approached such circumstances with respect towards established legends after receiving accolades like those aimed at Edwards throughout his postseason performances.
However, that’s not what transpired with Edwards (at least not in ways anticipated by some observers).
During Team USA’s truncated training camp held in Las Vegas back in July , Edward made it clear that he intended to treat this Olympic tournament just like any other competition.
