The U.S. men’s basketball team has two goals for Paris: win gold and see Simone Biles

Associated Press  

LAS VEGAS — Bam Adebayo has two primary goals to accomplish at the Paris Olympics. She’s the best.” It speaks to the power of Biles that, on an American roster with James and Kevin Durant and Stephen Curry and countless other greats from all sides of the sporting world, she’s not only the face of the U.S. Olympic Team — but it could be argued that she’s the face of the Paris Games, the most dominant and most captivating athlete in the world right now. “I heard it’s really expensive to get in,” said U.S. guard Tyrese Haliburton, whose five-year, $245 million contract with the Indiana Pacers begins at the start of the next NBA season. “To be able to see that just one time and hopefully get a picture with her, it’d mean a lot because she’s done a lot for not only the faces of us but for her sport as a whole.” U.S. guard Devin Booker will never have the most gold medals on his block; one of his neighbors in Phoenix just happens to be 23-time Olympic swimming champion Michael Phelps. I wasn’t really paying attention much until she started doing her thing.. Simone is somebody who set the tone for what a champion, an Olympian, a winner in life should be.” Biles still being the world’s best at 27, in her sport, makes about as much sense as a 39-year-old entering his 22nd NBA season and signing $100 million contracts to keep going and still playing at an extremely high level.
