Lakers News: Jerry Colangelo Believes LeBron James’ Olympic Career Is Over

Thanks to the global pandemic that took over the world in 2020, the Olympic Games in Tokyo will now be taking place this summer as opposed to last year. The USA Men’s Basketball Team was recently announced and one notable omission was that of Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James.

James has been a part of USA Basketball basically since he stepped foot in the NBA, being a part of the 2004 Olympic Team that took a bronze medal before winning back-to-back gold medals in 2008 and 2012. James chose to not participate in the 2016 Olympics and with his decision to not take part again this year, Team USA Director Jerry Colangelo isn’t expecting him to don the red, white and blue again.
