LeBron's Team USA Career Likely Over

[jonathanlambert33]

LAS VEGAS LeBron James' days of playing for Team USA have likely ended.

James, 28, will not play for USA Basketball during the 2013 world championships in Spain and is doubtful to participate in the 2016 Olympics in Brazil, a source close to the Miami Heat forward told Yahoo! Sports on Wednesday. USA Basketball executive director Jerry Colangelo also confirmed to Yahoo! Sports he doesn't expect James to play next summer and doesn't plan to ask him.

James has already won two Olympic gold medals and a bronze in three Olympic appearances that began in 2004.

"LeBron is going to be three years older during the next Olympics. He will have two older boys. He has a lot to endure with his family," the source told Y! Sports. "He played in three Olympics. Everyone that knows LeBron knows it's always based on a decision at that moment. But if the moment was today, the answer would be no."

I was thinking about the other day who would be a part of it.

Atleast who would be from the last team?

Anthony Davis, Kevin Durant, James Harden, Russell Westbrook?

Maybe Kevin Love.

I hope not. I really want to see him and Durant lead the US to one gold medal together.
