LeBron still undecided about Rio Olympics

T

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.

'€œI'€™m undecided,'€ James said at the club facilities of Flamengo, Brazil'€™s most popular soccer team, where both teams are practicing. '€œIt'€™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.
