Paris 2024 Olympics - Basketball - Men's Gold Medal Game - France vs United States - Bercy Arena, Paris, France - August 10, 2024. Lebron James of United States in action. REUTERS/Stephanie Lecocqin the men’s basketball gold medal game on Saturday, August 10 , said he could not imagine himself playing at the next Summer Olympics in Los Angeles in 2028.

Asked if he would contemplate playing in the next Olympics on US soil, the 39-year-old said: “No, I can’t see myself playing in LA, but I also didn’t see myself playing in Paris.”James, the Los Angeles Lakers star who is often regarded as one of the greatest players in the history of basketball, had 14 points, 6 rebounds, 10 assists and two steals against France.

The NBA all-time leading scorer then further added to his legendary resume with not only his third career Olympic gold medal, but also the tournament MVP award for his consistent play throughout the US’ run. With James unlikely to play at age 43 in the LA Games, forward Kevin Durant stands alone as the only four-time gold medalist in US Olympic men’s basketball history.
