At 39, LeBron James showed that he still had a lot of fuel in the tank at these Olympic Games.

In fact, after the victory in the final against the French team, he looked back on this tournament and the place it occupies in his career.

Before the start of these Paris Olympic Games, a simple question arose for Team USA: who would be the leader on the court? Three natural candidates stood out for their talent and experience, namely Kevin Durant, GOAT of this selection, Stephen Curry and the aging LeBron James.

Ultimately, it was the latter who took responsibility.

At 39, he proved once again that he could have been the best point guard in history if he had relied primarily on his passing skills to dominate in the NBA.

It is no coincidence that he left with a new gold medal, his third, and above all the title of MVP of the tournament.

With 14.2 points, 8.5 assists and 6.8 rebounds on average, he dazzled Lille and then Paris with his talent. Finally, he will always remain a small shadow on the board.

In this final against the French team, during which he was brilliant, once again, LeBron James was put on a bad poster by Guerschon Yabusele.

A sequence that will remain in the memories, but which will not prevent the King from savoring his gold medal.

Moreover, according to him, it is perhaps the most delicious of all.

It is the best medal because it is the most recent.

In 2008 we had enormous responsibilities on our shoulders, the best players had to return to the selection because we were not playing at the expected level.

This year we put the team together quickly.

We did not like the result at the last World Cup, so everything happened quickly.

In less than a month everything was settled.

We won the gold medal and that is the most important thing.

It’s an honor for me to have been elected MVP of the competition.

I don’t even know who the jury that voted for me is, but it’s an experience that makes me humble.

I was selected simply because we won the gold, so once again, that’s the most important thing.

For LeBron James, the last title is always the most important and the most delicious.

So this morning, it’s certainly with a big smile on his face that he’s going to wake up, and a little headache after a night of celebration.
