LeBron James’ Avengers With Stephen Curry and Kevin Durant Could Threaten Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant’s Crown, Says NBA Legend

LeBron James has made up his mind. He wants the Gold during the 2024 Olympics. Playing a recruiter, he made the call. The best of the best in the NBA heeded it. Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant, Anthony Davis, Devin Booker, Joel Embiid, and Damian Lillard are among the top names now headlining the USA 2024 Olympics Men’s Basketball team. Therefore, the chances of the rest of the squads look like a long shot. This team can perform one of the most dominant in USA basketball history. They are called The Avengers because LBJ started the recruitment drive after the USA was humiliated during the 2023 FIBA World Cup.

For a four-time champion, this potential rendition is among the top-notch ones. So much so that even The Dream Team can be concerned.

LeBron James and the Avengers get huge praise

This is not the first time that LBJ is going to be a part of a stacked group. In 2008, the Redeem Team saw him paired with Kobe Bryant, Carmelo Anthony, Dwyane Wade, Dwight Howard, Chris Paul, and Chris Bosh, all in their prime.

This team was compared to the most-heralded The Dream Team of 1992, which had the trio of Magic Johnson, Michael Jordan, and Larry Bird alongside John Stockton, Charles Barkley, Karl Malone, and many other top performers of the era. These two teams are considered the greatest Olympic basketball teams to ever assemble.

As per Tony Parker, who won four titles with the Spurs, the 2024 rendition rivals these two squads. Speaking on his French “Skweek” show, he was in awe of the developing USA team roster. The translation of what he said is, “The team they’re building can challenge the ’92 and 2008 teams. Because these teams, they’re saying their team is the best between both. But both are at the very high level. The one that’s coming in 2024 might be a really great team”.

The Avengers have the approval of one of the most winning Point Guards in NBA history. Will the upcoming 2024 team break all the barriers?

The uncertainty of the modern NBA

The Olympics are going to be in July next year. The NBA season for most teams wraps up around late May. Therefore, there will be some window to rest. However, the training camps will start some weeks before the main events. In the current NBA, load management is central and it can mean that we can’t be sure if the current pool of players will be available in full. While the players have made their commitments, they will need a full go-ahead from their franchises and will also consider personal preferences.

With the amount of time left, we can see enormous changes to the roster. But one thing is for sure, the team will be stronger than the 2023 FIBA World Cup squad that even failed to land a bronze.
