LeBron James proved to the world why he is known as the greatest of all time player. After winning the impressive 98-87 game against France at the 2024 Paris Olympics, the 39-year-old star player clinched his 3rd gold medal.
James, who was recently seen enjoying at a party with Draymond Green, was also awarded the tournament’s MVP at the conclusion of the 2024 Olympics basketball. However, the all-time NBA leading scorer credits his family, especially his wife, Savannah James, for his success.
“It means everything. It’s why I do it. I do it for my family. My wife takes care of the business, man. She’s the best. Without her, I wouldn’t even be in this position to be able to do what I do and love the game. I love it. So, to have my wife and my two boys and my daughter here and the rest of my family here, it was everything.” James said after the Gold Medal game.
James mentioned that his wife, Savannah, takes care of everything while he is on the court. The Los Angeles Lakers superstar believes that without Savannah, he wouldn’t even be able to achieve what he does.
LeBron James Opens Up About the Fierce Olympic Games
James consistently delivered dominating performances for Team USA. The 39-year-old star displayed stellar skills on the court at the 2024 Olympics. Alongside star players like Stephen Curry and Kevin Durant, King James secured a 6-0 winning streak in the Olympics and a 5-0 winning streak in the pre-Olympics exhibition games, leading the team to clinch their fifth straight gold medal. However, the three-time gold medal winner explained his experience against some of the best teams in the world at the 2024 Olympics.
“It’s really a global game. Everybody in the world loves the game. You see, obviously, the last two games with us vs. Serbia, us vs. France. But seeing the competitive teams like Puerto Rico and South Sudan making a push, Australia’s still pretty good, and so many more teams are going to continue to get better and better. Germany won the [FIBA] World Cup last year. It’s a basketball world and everybody loves the game. We just hope we continue to inspire people all over the world and we have great moments right here.” James added.
James, who is 39 years old, likely participated in his final Olympics. However, he has extended his NBA career by signing a new contract with the Lakers. Moreover, the Lakers also drafted his son Bronny in the 2024 NBA draft. It will be fascinating to see the father-son duo in the next season.
