August 5, 2024
A handful of sports legends met up at the Paris Olympics on Monday.
At a party celebrating 50 years of Team USA basketball, NFL great Tom Brady caught up with NBA star LeBron James as the United States prepares to continue its quest for a gold medal this week.

While Brady never competed in the Olympics, he knows a thing or two about winning and likely could give James some solid advice as he looks for a few wins over the next couple of days.
Brady also linked up with Boston Celtics stars Jayson Tatum, Jrue Holiday and Derrick White:
Also at Monday's party, Golden State Warriors star Steph Curry met up with swimmer Katie Ledecky, who already has a pair of gold medals, a silver medal and a bronze medal to show for at this year's Olympics.

James and Curry will look to have similar success to Ledecky as they chase a gold medal of their own. Team USA will face Brazil on Tuesday in its first knockout-round matchup after going 3-0 against Serbia, South Sudan and Puerto Rico.
Should it get past Brazil, the United States will have a tough game against either Serbia or Australia in the semifinals. If it can win on Thursday, it will be just one win away from a gold medal.
