They witnessed Team USA going so far as to reach the semi-finals, only to let the trophy slip from their hands against Germany. If that wasn?t enough, the team also ended up losing the bronze to Canada. The 4th place performance has created a backlash from the fans. And 2x Olympic gold medalist LeBron James already seems to have eyes set on Paris 2024.

The Los Angeles Lakers star is looking to form a team that will take on the world next year. At the same time, a former Orlando Magic athlete pleads twice to be included in the potential Redeem Team.
