Team USA won another gold during the Paris Olympics 2024 as LeBron James was MVP of the final match against host nation France. LeBron James won his third gold medal for Team USA as he won in 2008 and 2012. Meanwhile ahead of the new NBA season LeBron James got a new tattoo of Olympics rings which is inspired by USA win at Paris Olympics 2024.
LeBron James recently got a tattoo on his arm that included the five rings that have come to symbolize the Olympic logo. With his most recent victory, James equaled his longtime friend Carmelo Anthony for the most gold medals. In 2004, both sportsmen participated for Team USA and finished in third place.
Even though Team USA prevailed, it might be argued that they might not have achieved as much success if their roster hadn't had the oldest member. James was without a doubt the team captain, and he played a key role in several games thanks to his aggressiveness and versatility.
