The beaches and glamour of Rio de Janeiro havenât yet convinced LeBron James that he should come back in two years for a shot at a third Olympic gold medal
he beaches and glamour of Rio de Janeiro haven't yet convinced LeBron James that he should come back in two years for a shot at a third Olympic gold medal.
James has spent several days in Rio preparing for Saturday's NBA preseason game against his former Miami Heat teammates, but reiterated on Friday that it's too early to make a decision about the Olympics.
'I'm undecided,' James said at the club facilities of Flamengo, Brazil's most popular soccer team, where both teams are practicing. 'It's not until 2016.
I got two years. I got a long time.'
James and two other Cavalier teammates ' Kevin Love and Kyrie Irving ' have been picked in a national pool that will be used to select the 2016 men's team for the United States, which has won gold at the last two Olympics and in five of the last six.
Irving, who said he will sit out Saturday's game with a sprained right ankle, would be playing in his first Olympics if picked.
