LeBron James wants to play at 2024 Olympics
LeBron James, a three-time Olympian, two-time gold medalist, and the NBA’s all-time leading scorer, has so strong an interest in one more Olympics that he is ready to commit for next summer, and has also called multiple stars to essentially recruit them to join him with USAB in Paris, multiple league sources told The Athletic.

I think it’ll be really cool to see Team USA trot out the old stars one last time in Paris next summer. Still have questions about what they’ll do on the interior, but having LeBron/KD/Steph all seemingly on board is sweet. Even if they’re all in their upper 30s. – 9:54 AM

Shai was still the best player in the tournament and has a legit case for MVP. Just like LeBron when he should have won Finals MVP despite losing (the year Iguodala got it). – 10:43 AM

More on this storyline
James, who has not played for Team USA since the 2012 Games in London and will turn 39 in December, and Durant, a three-time Olympian and gold medalist who will be 35 by next summer, are viewing the Paris games as a “last dance” with USA Basketball, sources said. -via The Athletic / September 11, 2023
Curry, who will be 36, has never played in an Olympics but won two World Cups in 2010 and 2014 with the American team and is viewing next summer similarly. James, Durant, and Curry have spoken to each other about one last USA run, together, sources said. -via The Athletic / September 11, 2023
