LeBron James shows off his hops with flashy dunks at Team USA practice

Even at age 39, LeBron James is still one of the most physically talented and imposing players in all of basketball. Months ago, he signaled his commitment to play for Team USA in this year’s Summer Olympics to help it regain the gold medal after a poor showing in the 2023 FIBA World Cup.

This year, Team USA is loaded with stars and superstars such as James, his Los Angeles Lakers teammate Anthony Davis, Kevin Durant, Stephen Curry and Anthony Edwards, among others. As the squad prepares to begin play late this month, James found some time to show everyone how bouncy he still is by throwing down a couple of flashy dunks (h/t The Cold Wire).

The opening ceremony for the Olympics in Paris is scheduled for July 26. Its first game of group play will take place on July 28 versus Serbia.
