The partnership between the two is working well as Team USA remains undefeated in preparation for the Olympics.
LeBron James has shown exceptional performance every time he faced Steve Kerr in NBA playoffs. He led his team to win the 2016 NBA Finals after being down 3-1 and scored a historic 50 points with no help from his teammates. Kerr, who has been the head coach of Team USA since December 2021, is in awe of James' leadership skills and stardom.
Both Kerr and James are seeking their first Olympic gold medals. While Kerr was an assistant coach at the 2020 Olympics under Gregg Popovich, this is his first time leading the team. James, who sat out both the 2016 and 2020 Olympics but dove back in this year, is seeking his third gold medal and fourth medal overall.
The partnership between Kerr and James has been a successful one so far. Team USA is undefeated in exhibition games leading up to the Olympics.
LeBron James is averaging 9.3 points on 50.0% shooting with 2.7 assists and 2.7 rebounds per game in tune-up games.
Steve Kerr has not used LeBron James for more than 21 minutes in a game thus far, but could give him a heavier workload during the Olympics.

Adam Wells' article contains one instance of an appeal to authority fallacy. The author quotes Steve Kerr stating that he is 'blown away' by LeBron James' concentration, focus and leadership during Team USA practices. This statement alone does not constitute a logical fallacy, but when the author uses it as evidence to support the article's title and content without providing any further context or analysis, it becomes an appeal to authority fallacy. The author relies on Kerr's opinion as the sole basis for asserting that James is 'incredible' and 'locked in', without offering any additional evidence or reasoning of their own.
Steve Kerr has coached against LeBron James plenty of times in the NBA, but the Golden State Warriors head coach is getting an entirely different perspective on the future Hall-of-Famer’s game working with him for Team USA. ‘On every single drill he talks,’ Kerr said. ‘He’s even in a shootaround walkthrough his voice behind the play, yelling out what’s happening, yelling out the scheme, his leadership by example. The guy is incredible and I mean I’ve known that forever, but to see it up close is pretty special.’
