In fact, his best performance at the Olympic level (except for points, an impressive 15.5 per game in Beijing 2008). In addition, the LA Lakers star also had the luxury of becoming the only player with two triple-doubles at the Games: after the one in London 2012 against Australia, he repeated with Serbia in the semifinals in Paris.
