Following the LA Lakers’ exit from the playoffs, there has been a lot of speculation about LeBron James’ future in the franchise, but he has remained silent about the matter. However, he has confirmed his presence at the 2024 Paris Olympics to represent Team USA alongside Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant and others.
The LeBron loyalists, who have waited long enough to catch a glimpse of the genius’s on-court skills, got to see the snaps of his training session via his Instagram post. The 39-year-old displayed his well-maintained bare body in the pictures with a pair of shorts that had the USA Basketball logo on it.
Flaunting his dunks in red Nike sneakers, LeBron made his followers go gaga over his new eye-catching uploads. The fans couldn’t restrain themselves from reacting to his post, and a majority of them believed that the 4-time NBA champion would bag the Olympic gold medal. Here’s what some of the fans wrote on his post:
“It’s time to get GOLD!us”, commented a fan.
While another stated, “Timeless…Time to take back the GOLD”.
“Olympic gold medal loading”, read one of the comments.

LeBron James Linked to New York Nicks in Offseason
Although many believe that LeBron James will ultimately stay in Los Angeles, the predictions about his potential landing at other franchises have not stopped. The franchise is currently linked with the 20-time All-Star, the NY Knicks.
According to Bleacher Report’s Greg Swartz, “The Knicks could build a package around Julius Randle, Bojan Bogdanović and Miles McBride to get them close to James’ salary, giving the Lakers a balance of young and veteran talent back in return.” The Knicks allegedly approached LeBron in 2010, but it wasn’t fruitful back then.
Now that the Lakers are keen on rebuilding their team, replacing LeBron with the New York talents could be a great change if LBJ agrees to the move. On the flip side, if LeBron decides to enter free agency this summer, it could be problematic for the LA franchise.
