LeBron James has been identified as one of the best players in the NBA for the better part of two decades.
Some say he’s the greatest player of all-time, and has already left an immeasurable impact on the game of basketball.
If he stopped playing today, no one would blame him, as he has already accomplished so much.
Despite his age, James not only continues to play, but play at a high level.
This was evidenced in his performances on the Los Angeles Lakers last season, and he is gearing up to help Team USA win another gold medal in the Olympics.
Nick Wright recently marveled at James’ recent performances in a segment of “What’s Wright? With Nick Wright.”
“For LeBron’s legacy, this is unbelievable. Guys, he’s the best player on the Olympic team,” Wright said.

James is the unquestioned leader of Team USA, not just because of his off-court leadership.
Wright believes that he is the best player on the team, and after James’ 20-point performance against Team Germany, it’s hard to disagree with him.
Team Germany was Team USA’s final test before the Olympics, and if they can continue to play this well together, it should bode well for their chances at yet another gold medal.
There have been questions about their ability to perform down the stretch, but with players like James on the roster, there is always a chance for this team to make a deep run, even during intense international competition.
