King James feels like a superhero
The United States did not fail. As predicted, they won the gold medal. Beaten, in the final, master France from home. Once again, US basketball proves to be the best in the world. Applause especially for LeBron James who, at almost 40 years old, confirmed that he is still the king. For him, gold medal and MVP award of the Olympic tournament.

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.
King James is enjoying his third gold medal in four Olympic appearances (in Athens 2004, he è had to settle for bronze). Not content with winning everything there was to win, LeBron James also found the right nickname for the team that triumphed in Paris: "We are the Avengers".
