After the United States finished the 2023 FIBA World Cup in fourth place, LeBron James may have a plan to turn things around.
According to ESPN sources, the Lakers forward plans to join the US men’s basketball team to compete in the 2024 Paris Olympics, and it seems that James will not return alone, but will recruit other well-known players.
These rumors emerged after James reacted to a SportsCenter post on Instagram.
The publication presents designs for possible teams competing in the Paris tournament, with notable names including Stephen Curry, Devin Booker, Damian Lillard, Kevin Durant, Jayson Tatu Jim, Jimmy Butler, Kawhi Leonard and Anthony Davis, among others. This ambitious plan to form a dream team has aroused great expectations among basketball fans.
In addition to LeBron James, several big-name players may also return to Paris to represent the United States. Anthony Davis and Stephen Curry are among those mentioned as possible additions to the U.S. Olympic team.
James, 38, won bronze in 2004 and gold in 2008 and 2012. Davis won a gold medal in 2012 and was a member of the World Cup-winning team in 2014 while playing for Team USA.
Other players have also mentioned their interest in joining Team USA for the Olympics:
Since 1992, the U.S. basketball team has dominated the Olympics, winning all but one gold medal.
However, schedule changes and the COVID-19 pandemic have made it difficult for elite players to compete in recent international events. Furthermore, their disappointing performance at the 2023 FIBA World Cup has left them with high hopes for the 2024 World Cup in Paris.
Still, USA Basketball CEO Grant Hill said participating in this year’s World Cup is not a requirement for an Olympic team to consider.
