James has been absolutely sensational with Team USA so far. In their first three games, James has averaged 14.3 points, 6.7 rebounds, and 7.3 assists, while starting all three games. James could be considered one of the best players for Team USA at the tournament, and even the best player at the Olympics so far.
Team USA has heavily relied on James, not just for his scoring, but also for the passing and overall effort he brings on a nightly basis. LeBron James has been a leader for the squad, not just on the court, but off the court as well. His veteran experience has been a major plus to them, as they have a chance to secure their fifth consecutive gold medal in Paris this year.
LeBron James Is The MVP For Team USA
For LeBron James, a gold medal win at the Olympics would help him tie Carmelo Anthony as the second-most successful men’s basketball player in US Olympic history.
James would have three gold medals and one bronze medal, the same as Carmelo Anthony. Whereas Kevin Durant would cement his spot at the top of that list with four gold medals. Draymond Green thinks that all three have already secured their position, calling them the three GOATs of Team USA.
LeBron James has been perhaps the most important star for Team USA during their opening stretch of the Olympics. His dominant and ageless showing in the Olympics so far just goes to show the greatness of LeBron James if it wasn’t already obvious. James continues to cement his case as one of the greatest players of all time.
With another win at the Olympics, James will feel that his spot on top of the mountain when it comes to NBA players historically will only be secured further. For James, his legacy is very important, and he has spoken about the impact he leaves on the game, and where he ranks among some of the best ever in history.
James is also getting a run at playing competitive basketball with Team USA for what many of us can assume is the last time. James is 39 years old and is entering the twilight of his career. For him, this opportunity to win gold one last time is really important, and he will be looking to close out his international basketball career with a gold rush.
