If it were any other player who was playing in his 21 season, the whole league and the media would be mentioning it with bated breath. But not for LeBron James. Last year he broke Karim Abdul Jabbar?s scoring record, which was thought to be unattainable for a long time. Thus, it is a foregone conclusion that he would ease through Vince Carter?s longest NBA career record as well.

After the Lakers preseason game, LeBron and Anthony Davis sat for the media interaction. Something about the Las Vegas question made Anthony Davis poke fun at the King. And LeBron quirkily age-checked Antony Davis, before reminiscing about his Mamba experience.

LeBron has participated in three Summer Olympics and has won two gold medals and a bronze. The 2008 US Olympic basketball team was called the ?Redeem Team?, for it had the responsibility to win the gold medal and reinstate its lost glory. Kobe Bryant and Jason Kidd were the two veterans of this team.

In the 2004 Olympics, only the second time in the US Olympic basketball history, they got relegated to a bronze medal. That year, Argentina won the gold, which was led by the Spurs legend Manu Ginobili.

In the above video, LeBron describes how Las Vegas has been a pleasant experience for him. He states that, though he did not play in the summer league at Vegas, his stint with the Olympic team had more than made up for it. As he was describing it, Anthony Davis made some witty remark, to which the king had a funny ?which grade you were in? response and kept the fun vibe going.

Will LeBron play in the Paris Olympics?

The US basketball team is in a similar state as they were after the 2004 Olympics. They came fourth in the FIBA Basketball World Cup, which was won by Germany. Once again, the calls for NBA veterans to step in are being made. There are rumors of Stephen Curry playing in the Paris Olympics, and even LeBron seems to have shown interest. But the only certainty as of now is that Joel Embiid will represent the US, instead of France. Joel Embiid has French citizenship as well.
