LeBron James reportedly interested in playing for U.S. at 2024 Paris Olympics
2-time champion said to have called 'multiple stars' to recruit them for U.S. squad
Two-time Olympic gold medallist LeBron James is ready to commit to the 2024 Paris Summer Games, The Athletic reported Monday.
James, 38, led the United States to the top of the podium in Beijing (2008) and London (2012) and won a bronze at Athens in 2004.
The NBA's all-time leading scorer did not play for the gold medal-winning American sides in Rio de Janeiro in 2016 or in Tokyo in 2021.
James already called "multiple stars" to recruit them to join him in the French capital next summer, according to the report. Those stars include Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant, Anthony Davis, Jayson Tatum and Draymond Green.
