Former NBA star Paul Pierce anticipates that LeBron James will play at the 2024 Paris Olympics as a representative of Team USA.

Despite approaching the age of 39 by next summer, the seasoned four-time NBA champion is believed by Pierce to join the Olympic roster for one last appearance.

“I really think LeBron is going to go. I think LeBron will be there in the Olympics. This will be his final Olympics. I think Steph [Curry] will be there. I think he’ll go to the Olympics. I think he do got to go,” Pierce said on the Ticket & The Truth podcast.

James has already participated in three Olympic Games, contributing to the 2004 Athens bronze medal and achieving gold in both the 2008 Beijing and 2012 London Olympics.
