USA Basketball is looking to bring home the gold this summer in Paris. LeBron James will be looked to for leadership, playmaking, defense, and scoring. The USA Basketball roster is stacked from top to bottom with stars. James is quite possibly the greatest basketball player of all time and will be a valuable piece of the 2024 Olympic Basketball Team.
King James
LeBron James was drafted by the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2003 straight out of high school. His impact as a teenager was instant – both on the court and off. King James delivered from the very start in the NBA and earned Rookie of the Year honors. The King entered the league when he was just 18 years old. The expectations put on him were huge, and more than any teenager should have to face. King has not only lived up to all the hype, he has exceeded it.
Headlines
The King never slowed down after his first season in the league, and he has achieved some of the most iconic moments in basketball history. “The Decision,” overcoming a 3-1 game deficit in the 2016 NBA Finals, and bringing a championship to his hometown team, the list goes on and on.
All Around Greatness
6 feet and 9 inches tall, fast, strong, and skilled. King James deserves the name, King. His god given ability is unmatched. What is overlooked is the work he has obviously put in. LeBron James is one of the smartest players to ever play the game, his basketball IQ is off the charts. James knows what is going to happen on the court before it happens. It is why he is such a brilliant passer and defender.
Legacy
LeBron has played for the Cleveland Cavaliers, Miami Heat, and the Los Angeles Lakers in his long career. The King has four championship rings, played in 10 NBA Finals, and won two Olympic gold medals. He will be looking for a Gold Medal this Summer to go along with his 2008 and 2012 gold. LeBron will be a major part of Team USA.
