Kerr told the reporters that he did not prepare his team well enough for the game against South Sudan. In addition, Kerr and Team USA’s blushes were saved by one of the best players on their rosters, LeBron James. The King had a top performance against South Sudan and also scored the winning basket against them.

I did not do a great job preparing our team, We did not focus enough on what they're capable of, and that's on me. I think that really allowed South Sudan to gain confidence early.
