How the L.A. superstar's return to international play this summer could impact his future.
All-Star Los Angeles Lakers combo forward LeBron James has a big summer coming up. Beyond just having the opportunity to enter unrestricted free agency for the first time in six years, the 20-time All-Star and four-time league MVP will be returning to international competition for the first time in 12 years, when the 39-year-old suits up for a star-studded Team USA roster at the Paris Olympics.
"One variable is that this summer is an Olympic summer," Windhorst said, while also discussing the possibility that James' impending Olympic teammate Kevin Durant could do some critical networking in the event, too. "Team USA is gathering, and this is the biggest gathering of star players on Team USA since the Beijing Olympics in 2008. We have never seen this collection of stars who have committed over basically the last decade-and-a-half.
James isn't the dominant two-way force and unquestionable best player in the NBA anymore, but he's stil easily a top-20 talent, and an especially adept offensive player, even if he's lost a step. Across 71 healthy contests this year, the four-time champion averaged 25.7 points on .540/.410/.750 shooting splits, 8.3 dimes and 7.3 boards a night. Not too shabby for the league's oldest player.
