LeBron James, still leading the way for the US at age 39, has another chance at an Olympic gold
LeBron James knows there aren’t many moments like this left
PARIS (AP) — LeBron James knows there aren’t many moments like this left. He’s 39. He’s entering his 22nd professional season. It’s logical to expect that the Paris Olympics will be his last time on this stage, and who knows if he’s got one more NBA championship run in him.
If this is the Olympic finish line, though, he’s not sputtering toward it.
He’s leading — on pace to do so in a way that the U.S. has never seen before.
James could win the third gold medal of his Olympic career on Saturday night, when the U.S. takes on France for the title in Paris. If it happens, he’ll become just the third men’s player with at least three golds; Kevin Durant would have a record four golds should the U.S. win, and James would tie Carmelo Anthony for second on the all-time list with three Olympic titles.
