Team USA isn’t here to mess around.
They want to bring the gold medal back home, which is why they put together one of the single-greatest teams this game has ever seen.
Notably, some of the players who got the nod are likely getting their final opportunity to represent their national team, and that’s not something they take lightly or for granted.
That’s definitely the case with LeBron James, who’s been a man on a mission since training camp started, and was even recently voted the best player on the court by his peers.
James isn’t as young as he used to be, but he can still be a major factor for this team, and given his versatility, there’s not a single way to use him.
With that in mind, he clarified that he was willing to embrace whichever role they needed from him, stating that he could score in bunches if need be or pull the strings of the offense as a playmaker as well (via Spectrum Sportsnet).

James has always been known for being one of the most dynamic players this game has ever seen, being able to play — and guard, during his prime — all five positions.
That makes him a tailor-made player not only for modern hoops but also for FIBA basketball, and he’s going to be the jack of all trades for Steve Kerr in the Olympics.
His role might change constantly, but one thing has never changed, and that’s his impact on the game.
