Following Team USA’s dramatic comeback victory over Serbia, Anthony Edwards took to Instagram to humorously poke fun at his older teammates, including Steph Curry and LeBron James. Edwards, who is one of the youngest players on the team, shared a series of pictures featuring the veteran players with the caption, “Keep some old heads around you.”
The post was a lighthearted jibe at the advanced ages of James, Curry, and Kevin Durant, who are likely participating in their final Olympics. Despite their age, the trio has been pivotal for Team USA, with Curry’s remarkable 36-point performance against Serbia proving crucial in overcoming a significant fourth-quarter deficit.
Edwards, 23, has already made a name for himself on the international stage, having played a key role in Team USA’s fourth-place finish at the 2023 FIBA Basketball World Cup. Although the Americans initially cruised through the Olympic tournament, they faced a tough challenge from Serbia, who came close to delivering a major upset.
The playful post by Edwards underscores the camaraderie within the team and highlights the dynamic between the seasoned veterans and the younger generation as they compete for Olympic glory.
