At almost 40 years old, LeBron James wanted to come to the Olympic Games one last time, just to have fun for his last international competition.
But be careful, because the King is not coming to have fun either, as he confirmed to journalists.
As relaxed as LeBron James.
In good shape since the start of these Olympic Games, the King reminds us that he is still one of the best players in the world at 39 years old already.
He did not need to force his talent this Wednesday night against South Sudan, as proven by his 12 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists.
But the Akron native is not in Paris to have fun either.
LeBron James announces his goal
This Wednesday, he has just reached a historic milestone by passing the 300 point mark during Olympic competitions.
A feat achieved by only three players, which requires scoring talent of course, but also a certain longevity.
But for James, there is no question of getting carried away, his goal is elsewhere in Paris.
