LeBron James Talking With Steph Curry and Kevin Durant About Teaming Up for Olympics

USA Basketball could be stacked for the Olympics with the Los Angeles Lakers and Golden State Warriors stars

When The Athletic's Shams Charania reported that Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James was planning to play for Team USA in next summer's Olympics, he also reported that James has been in talks with several other stars about teaming up.

"James has spoken to Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant, Anthony Davis, Jayson Tatum and Draymond Green, and they are all prepared to commit as well. Separately, Phoenix’s Devin Booker, Portland’s Damian Lillard, Sacramento’s De’Aaron Fox and Dallas’ Kyrie Irving also have serious interest in committing, league sources said," Charania wrote.

Golden State Warriors star Steph Curry had already alluded to potentially joining USA Basketball next summer, but some of these other names are coming out for the first time. With stars like James, Curry, Durant, Davis, Tatum, and others, Team USA has a chance to be an absolute force in the 2024 Olympics.

While Charania added that James' commitment next summer is unrelated to USA's disappointing FIBA World Cup performance, it's hard to believe that other American stars won't be more motivated to join him after seeing the way Team USA went out this summer.

Behind James, Curry, Durant, and others, Team USA will have an opportunity to remind the basketball world just how dominant they are. While other countries have incredible star power, USA can assemble a roster that feels unbeatable.
