Team USA, often considered the most successful team in international competitions, has impressed everyone with their outstanding performance in the 2024 Paris Olympics. With its star-studded roster, the American men’s basketball team secured five consecutive victories in the pre-Olympic exhibition games and three consecutive wins after the beginning of the 2024 Olympics.
Team USA is on the verge of winning another gold medal as they have advanced to the quarterfinals. However, basketball fans have recently been discussing the controversy among Team USA’s players after noticing a peculiar reaction from Joel Embiid, who recently received criticism from French fans upon arriving in France.

While other stars are seen enjoying themselves, Embiid is captured gazing at LeBron James and Kevin Durant in a peculiar way. Embiid starts staring at James when he enters, suddenly looks at Durant when he crosses in front of him and keeps staring at him.
