South Sudan is making waves on the global stage, proving they’re a force to be reckoned with! In a recent exhibition match, they came dangerously close to toppling Team USA, pushing them to their limits in a heart-stopping 101-100 game. The winning layup from LeBron James was all that saved the Americans from a shocking upset, leaving everyone in awe, including Team USA’s head coach, Steve Kerr. Stephen Curry, a future Hall-of-Famer and the backbone of Team USA, is taking the upcoming match against South Sudan seriously. Drawing from the wisdom of legendary coach Gregg Popovich, Curry emphasizes the concept of 'appropriate fear'—respecting your opponent enough to ensure you bring your best game every time.
