Paul Pierce and LeBron James
LeBron James is one of those players who comes around once in a generation since he entered the NBA straight out of high school. He continues to deliver incredible performances every time, more than 20 years later, and will have to do it once again for his national side, Team USA. Notably, former Boston Celtics legend Paul Pierce believes James will have to take up the role of “closer” for Team USA at the 2024 Paris Olympics.
Pierce claimed on the Undisputed Show recently that he believes that James is the perfect player for Team USA to take the “closer” role and finish off the match in the Olympic event. Pierce also claimed that James’ immense experience will come into play in the tournament and it will be crucial for his side to utilize his skills accordingly.
Right, our closer is gonna make the decisions we need him to make to win the ball game, is that LeBron? Absolutely!...The ball will be in LeBron’s hands and I want him making all the decisions.On the Undisputed Show, Paul Pierce said
In addition, Pierce’s take on James makes sense as he is the most experienced player on the roster.
On the contrary, James will be featuring for his nation in an Olympic event after 12 long years as he last represented Team USA in 2012. Not only that, James also hinted earlier that this will well and truly be his last event with his nation before he calls it quits from the sport. It will be intriguing to watch how James performs for his side in the 2024 Paris Olympics.
