“My name is in the hat and it’s always predicated on: one; my body, how my body is feeling at the end of the season — I hope to make a long playoff run,” James said. “And then where my mind is and then where my family’s head is. So, it’s a lot of factors but my name is in the hat.”
Even without LeBron, Team USA still has a stacked list of finalists so fans shouldn’t worry too much. There are plenty of stars to lead this team to yet another Gold medal.
