In a preview of LeBron James’ conversation with TODAY’s Craig Melvin, James opens up about the opportunity to play with his son, Bronny, on the LA Lakers, calling it the “greatest accomplishment” he’s ever had.
LeBron James will go for his third Olympic gold medal when he and Team USA take the court this summer in Paris. He was on the 2008 and 2012 squads that won gold, but says if he could compete in a different sport in the Olympics, he knows exactly what it would be. “I would — man, the four-by-one relay, man — track and field,” he told Craig Melvin in an exclusive interview for 'TODAY.
” No matter what happens in Paris, James, who will become the oldest U.S. men’s basketball Olympian ever this summer, will remain synonymous with basketball long after he steps away from the game. He says he wants to be known for more than that, though. “I hope it’s not just talking about basketball. You know, for me, what I do in our community and the people that I inspire all over the world is what I want my — a lot of my legacy to be talked about,” he said.
