LeBron James has had incredible moments with Team USA, and in particular two beautiful Olympic medals. Unfortunately, the relationship between the King and his national team is not necessarily as good as in the past, the fault in particular to Jerry Colangelo … LeBron would have had very harsh words towards Team USA and his boss.
Unlike the NBA, where he’s one of the two greatest players of all time, LeBron James is not necessarily part of the pantheon of Team USA… Indeed, when we think of the great history of the American selection, we first think of Michael Jordan, headliner of the 92 ′ Dream Team, then to Carmelo Anthony and Kevin Durant, who are perhaps the two most unstoppable talents in the FIBA context.
But beware, if he is not the GOAT of Team USA, the King has not served as a role player during his various campaigns. If he was present in 2004 for the biggest Olympic fiasco in history, he made up for it wonderfully by shining with Kobe Bryant in Beijing in 2008, then with KD in London in 2012. His international track record is clearly full.
But today the relationship between the quadruple NBA champion and his national team is not necessarily in good shape, and in particular for a very simple reason: he does not like the treatment reserved for certain players. Passing through the show The Shop, led by the right arm of King Maverick Carter, Kevin Love confided in his last moments with Team USA before the Olympics. And faced with a specific attack, he would have received a call from a reassembled LeBron James.
