The USA national team narrowly defeated the South Sudan national team late Saturday night, when LeBron James finally made the winning shot in the decisive moments (101-100).

Before this fight, former basketball player P.Pierce was not looking for a word in his pocket and “joked” about the national team of the African continent on the “Undisputed” show.

“Man… there is probably not a single basketball player in the South Sudan national team whose height exceeds 190 centimeters,” P. Pierce joked. – Now we have to play against the national team of South Sudan? It would have been better if we had invited Lithuania. How did South Sudan get into this match?’

We remind you that one of the tallest basketball players on the planet, Manute Bol (231 cm), comes from South Sudan, and his son Bol Bol (221 cm) recently withdrew from the South Sudan national team camp before the Olympic Games. The basketball player argued that his decision to leave the national team was due to “personal reasons”.

The USA and South Sudan national teams will also meet at the Olympics. Together with the USA, the national teams of Puerto Rico and Serbia will also compete in the group.

We remind you that the Lithuanians did not qualify for the Olympic Games after losing to the hosts of the tournament in Puerto Rico in the selection final.
