    Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James has helped lead USA Basketball to a perfect 2-0 start at the Paris Olympics. James is averaging 16.5 points per game, 7.0 assists per game, and 7.0 rebounds per game through Team USA's first two Group Phase contests.

    One of the veterans on this Team USA roster, James joined Kevin Durant and Carmelo Anthony as just the third player in USA Men's Basketball history with at least 300 Olympic points. James reached this impressive milestone in Wednesday's win over South Sudan.

    James finished this game with 12 points, seven rebounds, five assists, and one steal.

    Team USA will not play their next game until Saturday against Puerto Rico, which gives the players two days off in between games. USA and Puerto Rico will begin play at 8:15 AM PT on Saturday.

    Spending one of his off days supporting the USA Basketball Women's 3x3 team, LeBron James was joined by his wife Savannah James as the two were seen court side at this exciting USA vs. Spain matchup.

    The James family helped cheer USA to victory, as they defeated Spain 17-11 to get their first victory in four tries. The USA Basketball Women's 3x3 team had previously been 0-3 in the Paris Olympics, falling to Germany, Azerbaijan, and Australia before defeating Spain.

    James and Team USA will enjoy one more off day on Friday before facing Puerto Rico on Saturday. Puerto Rico is winless in two Olympic games, getting blown out by Nikola Jokic and Serbia in their last contest.
