LeBron was clearly having fun and laughing at the idea that Bronny James would be his enforcer on the Lakers, taking on players who try to physically intimidate James. Considering the size and age disparity between LeBron James and his son, its more likely that the roles will be reversed.
Ric Flair is considered one of the best ever in professional wrestling, much like James is in basketball. As for Arn Anderson, he was a close associate of Ric Flair in the ’80s and ’90s as part of their iconic faction, ‘The Four Horsemen’.
LeBron James is currently in Paris, where he is one of the standout players, and one of the leaders for Team USA, as they are looking to win their fifth consecutive Olympic gold medal. They have won their first two games in dominant fashion, with James stealing the show as one of the best performers on the team.
In the opener against Serbia, James was on fire, scoring 21 points, 7 rebounds, 9 assists, and 1 steal. His performance along with Kevin Durant’s was crucial in their dominant win. And in their game against South Sudan, James contributed at a high level once again, with 12 points, 7 rebounds, 5 assists, and 1 steal.
Can LeBron James Be The MVP For Team USA?
Despite being 39 years old, LeBron James has been one of, if not the outright best player for Team USA at the Olympics. He is expected to continue starting for the team at the Olympics, given his high-performance level. For James, this is his fourth Olympics appearance, and he wants to take home the gold for a third time in his career.
James’ veteran presence has been a great thing for the squad, as they can rely on him not just to perform great, but to get the rest of the squad involved and improve the team. His passing ability, court vision, and overall basketball IQ are invaluable for Team USA.
With a third gold medal win this year, James will tie Carmelo Anthony as the second-most successful men’s Olympics basketball player for Team USA, right behind Kevin Durant. James currently has two gold medals and one bronze medal from 2004, and a win this year will bring his total medal count up to four.
Team USA is relying on James the most at the Olympics, as his physical dominance, speed, and passing have made him arguably the best player at the Olympics so far. And if he can continue his level of performance, Team USA will be able to bring him gold medals once again.
