LeBron’s Elite MVP Circle
This victory gives him another gold medal and also puts him among an exclusive group of athletes. He is now in the same class as Kevin Durant, who earned Olympic MVP honors in 2020, and Manu Ginobili from Argentina, who was recognized in 2004.
They are the only people who have ever managed to win MVP at this event since its inception, indicating how much they assisted their respective teams. James’ other accolade, besides being named MVP, was being selected into the Olympic All-Star Five team. Two of James’ compatriots, Stephen Curry (USA), Nikola Jokic (Serbia), Victor Wembanyama (France), and Dennis Schroder (Germany), also made it here. The makeup of this array underlines how well basketball was played this year, with James leading America’s side.
