Team USA takes on Team Canada in an exhibition basketball game before the 2024 Paris Olympics on Wednesday, July 10, 2024, (7/10/24) at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.
FILE - In this Aug. 12, 2012, file photo, United States' LeBron James dunks against Spain during the men's gold medal basketball game at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London. James said Monday, Sept. 29, 2014, following the Cavaliers' practice that he's "nowhere near" deciding if he'll again play for Team USA in two years for the 2016 Olympics.
“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.
