With the 2024 Paris Olympics currently underway, one could argue that LeBron James is facing the greatest amount of pressure when compared to all the members of the Team USA roster. The majority of basketball fans will know that the Los Angeles Lakers star was one of the top players in the league chosen to represent the country on the international stage.
Although every star on Team USA has a great deal to gain by adding an Olympic gold medal to their legacy, some might claim that LeBron James is the one who wants the gold medal the most. Given that he is the oldest and most accomplished player on the roster, this might confuse some fans. That said, a closer understanding of the situation is required.
This might be LeBron James’ last chance to add another accolade to his legacy
LeBron James has shocked the NBA world by continuing to play at an elite level despite supposedly being at the backend of his career, While there is no denying his individual greatness and ability, the fact remains that LeBron is no longer able to singlehandedly carry a team through the playoffs.
Since LeBron already has several records that Jordan was unable to secure, winning another gold medal helps his case as the GOAT. While it could be considered unfair to include international accomplishments, King James’ play in the Olympics leaves fans with no choice.
King James is still one of the best players on Team USA
Throughout the exhibition games and first group stage matchup against Serbia, there is no denying that LeBron James has been the best player for Team USA and the most reliable. He hit several important late-game shots for the team in order to help them win games.
Considering that there is no way to know what shape King James will be in next season, he is expected to make the most of the abilities he has remaining to help Team USA win the 2024 Paris Olympics. Most importantly, this is his last chance to participate in the Olympics. For all of these reasons, LeBron James might just be facing the most pressure out of all the stars on Team USA.
