Although it seems as though the star has been in the league forever, he still has plenty of time left to play, especially since he just signed a three-year, 0 million extension to remain in Cleveland.
“I did not retire from Team USA”, he told US sports broadcaster ESPN.
“I don’t think MJ ever had a Game 7 in the Finals”, James said.
James was one of the USA’s most important players at the 2008 and 2012 Olympics, helping the team capture gold medals at each.
The opening stages of Wednesday’s quarter-final against Argentina promised to be even more problematic as the South Americans raced to an early double-digit lead, before Durant produced a super shooting show to turn the game around and leave the ageing Argentines eventually well beaten.
James guided his team to the National Basketball Association finals in each of the past six seasons.
Many perceived it as a dig to the Golden State Warriors, who LeBron and his Cleveland Cavaliers had just beaten in Game 7 of the National Basketball Association finals. He was playing at an All-Star level during the second half of last season, and we should expect to see him make that game several times in the foreseeable future. And I would love to be a part of a franchise, if not at the top. Superstars are always going to have the back of other superstars switching teams – they either already have or will someday likely walk in those shoes. “My dream is to actually own a team”.
“If I’m fortunate enough to own a team, then I’m going to hire the best general manager and president that I can”, he added.
