After the Los Angeles Lakers were defeated 4-1 by the Denver Nuggets, LeBron James emphasised his dedication to USA Basketball. James declined to comment on his future with the Lakers, but made it plain that the 2024 Paris Olympics were his next aim. The last time “King James” played for Team USA was in 2012, when he helped the Americans win the gold medal.

The aforementioned event is about two months away, but the four-time NBA MVP is already prepping for the highly anticipated battle. He’s back in the gym and working on his game, just a few weeks after Game 5 of the Lakers-Nuggets series. James shared photographs from his day at the gym on Instagram.

“Jordan or Kobe wasn’t doing this at season #22” – NBA fans excited to see LeBron James’ early preparation for the Paris Olympics.

Why was Chennedy Carter suspended by the Atlanta Dream? Looking at the Chicago Sky guard’s disciplinary history.

One fan gave him tremendous accolades.

“Looks like black Jesus”

Another made it clear what the desired result is:

“LeGoldMedal”

Steve Kerr will have an unbelievable roster of superstars at his disposal as Team USA fights for the basketball gold medal in Paris. Aside from LeBron James, the Golden State Warriors coach will have Steph Curry, Kevin Durant, Joel Embiid, Devin Booker, Kawhi Leonard, Jayson Tatum, and others.

The Americans did not even win a medal at the 2023 FIBA World Cup, prompting USA Basketball to gather its superstars. Despite being the oldest in the group, James is already preparing for the event, which will take place from July 26 to August 11, 2024.

Where LeBron James will spend his 22nd season is a mystery.

LeBron James has a $51.4 million player option with the LA Lakers for the 2024-25 season. When asked if he had played his final game for the squad, he declined to say. He has until June 29, 2024, to decide whether to stay or take his talents elsewhere.

Although James is likely to stay in Hollywood, many believe he will leave to play for the team that drafts Bronny James. The Lakers have the 17th and 55th picks, but they are unlikely to select James Jr. in the first round. If the former USC guard does not make it until the team’s next turn, James may go where his son is playing.

The deadline to decide his future in Los Angeles is two days after the 2024 NBA Draft. Most basketball fans will be eager to see where LeBron James will play in his 22nd season, especially if another team selects James Jr.
