Paige Bueckers, Angel Reese, and Others React to a Momentous Olympic Performance; USA Basketball Avoids Serious Heartbreak
And that’s when the run ends! Even though Gabby Williams of France gave Team USA a fear of the lifetime until the very end, the trip to Paris ended happily for us. After many years of hard work, Team USA has finally defeated France in a battle that will go down in history. The eight consecutive Olympic gold medal was won by a team tonight that included veterans A’ja Wilson and rookies Kahleah Copper and Jackie Young. What’s left is a compelling argument for celebrating this victory.
Once again, Team USA prevented their dynasty from imploding. They managed to overcome the difficult terrain in the incredibly close 66-67 victory over France, despite the fact that the first 40 minutes of the game were not exactly pleasant for them. As a result, a lot of the biggest names in basketball could not resist hooting for these court queens. Gabrielle Union, the spouse of Dwyane Wade, was one of them. On her X account, she wrote, “OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!” This game! Best wishes to the USA Women’s squad and congratulations to France. WOW, WOW, WOW! I adore this game so much!
Breanna Stewart, who only added 8 points to the game, also said how the most basic standard for USA basketball is winning the gold. But these were not the only ones to announce the cheerful update on the internet. In fact, the current basketball players and future faces of the USWBNT also praised the efforts of Team USA.
Everyone shouts the hurrah for Team USA
Today’s game saw a lot of ups and downs and also many uncharacteristic plays from Team USA. They had high turnovers; they committed more fouls and were not exactly their best in the offense. Nevertheless, it was the end result that mattered. And in that, they did wrap up their trip with smiles on their faces. Hence, resonating with all that, the Chicago Sky’s rookie cheered for the entire crew in Paris. Angel Reese, who was snubbed from even the talks of making the Team USA wrote, “🥇A WIN IS A WIN. CONGRATS LADIES!!! @usabasketball.”
Of course, A’ja Wilson’s USC head coach, who was present in the Bercy Arena, also shared the big news with everyone. She tweeted, “That’s 8 in a row! The DYNASTY of DYNASTIES! @usabasketball #GOLDHABITS #GOLDSTANDARD”
At the same time, the UConn Huskies star Paige Bueckers also did not stay behind. She tweeted, “Golden again @usabasketball” Of course, she too has one big mission awaiting her as she inches closer to her final eligibility year with Geno Auriemma. Another WNBA star who could not stay calm after the win was Kalani Brown of the Dallas Wings. She seemed to be super excited about the huge win as well. She took it to her X account sharing, “USA!!! USA!!! USA!!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🥇🥇🥇”
Certainly, the game was just as thrilling as nerve-wracking. Still, in the end, it is the USA that stands tall. After a monstrous showdown of pure basketball passion, everyone from the basketball world came down to wish them. LeBron James, Sue Bird, Pau Gasol, and 4x Olympic gold medalist Lisa Leslie were all there to watch the magic happen right in front of them.
