Cleveland Cavaliers superstar LeBron James is already thinking ahead to the 2020 Summer Olympic Games in Tokyo but hasn't made a decision yet on whether he will play for Team USA or not.

On Saturday, he revealed to ESPN.com's Dave McMenamin that playing for the team's new head coach, Gregg Popovich, will play a large factor.

"I've said that before," James said. "He's just a great mastermind of the game of basketball."

The longtime head coach of the San Antonio Spurs has been a steady, successful presence on the sidelines for the past two decades.
