LeBron James tipped to play in 2016 Olympics

By , Reporter
USA basketball chairman Jerry Colangelo remains confident that LeBron James will feature at the Olympics next year.

USA Basketball chairman Jerry Colangelo has suggested that Cleveland Cavaliers star LeBron James will want to play in the 2016 Olympics.

James has previously insisted that he would, but then reportedly leaned towards skipping it as a decision is likely to be made during next season.

However, Colangelo remains confident that the 30-year-old will ultimately decide to join up with Team USA.

"I think LeBron wants to be part of it," Colangelo told SiriusXM.

USA qualified for the 2016 Olympics by winning the World Cup last year, a tournament that James decided not to feature in.
