LeBron James wants to play in the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo. A large number of marquee names and superstars turned down invitations to play in the 2016 Olympics in Rio but that isn’t expected to happen in the next Olympic competition. Team USA will be stacked.
The Olympic competition and the men’s basketball tournament have been a source of global marketing for the NBA. The tournament is also a chance for basketball fans worldwide to see the best players in the world go head-to-head.
For that reason, the megastars, superstars, and faces of NBA franchises are expected to participate in the Olympics.
