The Los Angeles Lakers have largely stood pat during free agency despite another disappointing playoff run and they might regret that decision even more after seeing LeBron James play in the 2024 Olympics.
Despite being the oldest player in the NBA, James proved he still has a lot of elite basketball left in him after another strong season during the 2024-25 NBA campaign.
Now, James is on a quest to win another gold medal as he leads Team USA alongside a plethora of NBA stars.
While Team USA has names like Stephen Curry and Joel Embiid on it, James is the main attraction and he’s played well up to this point.
James got off to a relatively quiet start to the exhibition slate, but turned it on in the final two games against South Sudan and Germany.
James carried that momentum into the win against Serbia and had people like Robert Griffin III declare him the best player in the world still via his personal Twitter account.
“Lebron James at 39 years old isn’t just the best player on Team USA, he is still the best player in the World,” Griffin tweeted.

As Griffin noted, James was playing as hard as he could on both ends of the floor against Serbia and still making highlight-reel plays.
It’s astounding that James is able to play at this level at this stage of his career, and it goes to show that he shouldn’t be taken for granted.
With James playing the way he is, it’s hard to imagine another country knocking off the USA.
