United States forward LeBron James takes the ball up-court during the first half of an exhibition basketball game against Canada, Wednesday, July 10, 2024, in Las Vegas. Team USA, featuring the some of best basketball players of all time like LeBron James and Steph Curry, takes on Team Australia in an exhibition basketball game before the 2024 Paris Olympics on Monday, July 15, 2024, in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.LAS VEGAS — He first played on the U.S. Olympic team as a 19-year-old.
“I’m still playing a high level,” James, a three-time Olympic medalist — two golds and one bronze — said Saturday after the first workout. “I still love the game of basketball. And Team USA has done well by me, so I felt like it was important for this summer to be able to go out there and play with the rest of the guys.”
“I was blown away by how hard he practices,” U.S. coach Steve Kerr said. “I went to Ty and Spo, and I said, ‘Is this normal?’ And they said, ‘Every day, every day.’ And then I said to Spo, ‘What about way back when you got him?’ And Spo said, ‘Every day, every drill, every walkthrough.’” “I’ve talked to both of them about this idea of being together after going against one another with such high stakes over the years,” Kerr said. “They obviously fit really well together. The idea of Steph playing off the ball, and LeBron pushing it in transition, that’s pretty intriguing. Obviously, Steph will play on the ball as well. And LeBron has become such a good shooter, but they’re both so good at so many different areas of the game.
