The basketball competition in the 2024 Summer Olympics is now in the books, and as plenty expected, the United States won the gold medal with a 98-87 victory over France in the final round.
LeBron James was excellent throughout group play and the knockout round, and he was named the MVP of basketball competition at the Olympics. His Los Angeles Lakers superstar teammate Anthony Davis played a key role off the bench, especially defensively and on the boards.
While it seems almost certain that this will be the 39-year-old James’ last go-around in the Olympics, Davis said he thinks he will suit up for Team USA again in the 2028 Summer Games.

The 2028 Summer Games will be held in Los Angeles, which would give Davis a nice opportunity to get some adulation from the hometown crowd. He will be 35 years of age then, which would likely make it his last appearance in the Olympics.
The superstar big man earned his second Olympic gold medal on Saturday. He had previously played on the 2012 iteration of Team USA along with James and late Lakers legend Kobe Bryant.
