South Sudan came close to the biggest upset in basketball history against the USA, but LeBron James secured the win. James' layup with eight seconds left on the clock sealed a hard-fought win. South Sudan's Carlik Jones had a triple-double (15 points, 11 rebounds and 11 assists) but missed a game-winning jumper with four seconds left, per ESPN. This means South Sudan just sky rocketed the possibility of winning maybe gold in Paris. Even with the stars on team USA, they will have to EARN that gold medal."
