LeBron James's USA won a fifth straight Olympic men's basketball crown on Saturday.

The USA's dream team of NBA superstars held off France 98-87 to take their tally of men's Olympic basketball golds to 17.

In a rematch of the Tokyo Olympics final, the US again proved too much for France's sensational NBA Rookie of the Year Victor Wembanyama and his teammates.

For Kevin Durant it was a record fourth Olympic gold. James earned his third and Stephen Curry claimed his first in his maiden Olympic appearance, contributing eight three-pointers to the effort.
