LeBron James still committed to Paris Olympics, but health remains the big key
LeBron James still wants to participate in the Paris Olympics this summer, sure sounds like extending his NBA career for at least a couple more seasons is an option and said he would like to see his playing days end as a member of the Los Angeles Lakers
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — LeBron James still wants to participate in the Paris Olympics this summer, sure sounds like extending his NBA career for at least a couple more seasons is an option and said he would like to see his playing days end as a member of the Los Angeles Lakers.
Of course, not even he knows if any or all of that is possible.
James played in his 20th All-Star Game on Sunday, extending his record for appearances in the NBA's midseason showcase, but arrived with a plan to not be on the court in Indianapolis for very long because of an ongoing treatment plan for his problematic left ankle. He had eight points in 14 minutes during the first half and didn't start the second half, giving up his spot to Golden State's Stephen Curry.
“The most important thing for me is definitely my health,” James said.
