It’s been a humbling couple of weeks for the United States as its team at the FIBA World Cup lost to Lithuania, Germany and Canada to finish 4th in the tournament. However, the defeat has come just in time to reignite LeBron James’ passion for the playing in the Olympics as a new report from The Athletic shares that he’s already committed to joining the 2024 Olympic team in Paris.
Previously, King James played on USA’s basketball team at the Olympics twice, earning gold medals in 2008 and 2012. He now looks to earn a third gold and has made progress in recruiting supporting talent. According to The Athletic‘s report, Kevin Durant, Anthony Davis, Jayson Tatum, Draymond Green and Steph Curry are all prepared to commit to the team. On top of this, Damian Lillard, Devin Booker, De’Aaron Fox and Kyrie Irving are said to have serious interest in joining.
Should even a handful of these players attend, Team USA will be the team to beat next year. Stay tuned for updates as Olympic preparations continue.
