Overview
- Speaking on LeBron James' Mind the Game podcast with co-host Steve Nash, James said he will be watching the 2028 Olympics "from Cabo" while Stephen Curry said, "Never say never, but I highly doubt it."
- James noted it would be hard to top Team USA's Paris 2024 finish and both players will be far older by 2028, when James would be 43 and Curry 40.
- The comments are widely seen as closing an Olympic chapter for the veteran stars after their gold in Paris, accelerating a move toward a younger national-team core.
- USA Basketball recently named Erik Spoelstra head coach to lead the program through the 2027 FIBA World Cup and into the Los Angeles Olympics.
- Coverage highlights Paris context: Curry's late three-pointers versus France and 36 points against Serbia, and James' all-around play, which helped secure a fifth straight U.S. gold.
