LeBron James, the star player of the Los Angeles Lakers, is likely participating in his final Olympics. At 39, he continues to defy expectations by playing for Team USA at the 2024 Olympics in Paris. Despite his age, James remains one of the team’s top players and their undisputed leader.
On July 31, 2024, in Villeneuve-d’Ascq, France, LeBron James helped Team USA secure their second group stage victory against South Sudan during the Paris 2024 Olympic Summer Games at Stade Pierre-Mauroy. As he enjoys what could be his last Olympic appearance, he’s making the most of it with his family, including his daughter Zhuri James, who is there to support him.
A heartwarming and humorous moment was captured when LeBron and Zhuri were seen enjoying women’s beach volleyball in the rain. Despite his global fame, LeBron managed to embarrass his daughter with his dancing when the cameras panned to him, showcasing his typical playful personality. This moment, highlighted by On Her Turf, displayed a funny yet wholesome side of the James family in Paris.
Even the volleyball players took notice of James and acknowledged him with admiration from the stands.
As LeBron continues his quest for another gold medal, his family remains by his side, cheering him on. A win in Paris would mark his third Olympic gold and fourth overall in his illustrious career with Team USA. On their off days, LeBron and his family are also enjoying the various festivities the Olympics have to offer.
LeBron James on Team USA Starters
A key storyline for Team USA has been the performance of their starting lineups and rotations managed by head coach Steve Kerr. Notable changes have included benching and then reactivating Joel Embiid for Anthony Davis, and Jayson Tatum receiving a DNP-CD only to start in the next game.
LeBron James and his teammates are adaptable, understanding that the focus is on performing at the highest level during their minutes on the court. In their game against South Sudan, the bench contributed significantly, scoring 66 points and excelling on both ends of the court. Team USA held South Sudan to 42.1% shooting and forced 19 turnovers, solidifying their status as favorites for the gold, largely due to LeBron’s leadership.
