    Team USA is preparing for the Summer Olympics in Paris. Once again, they are favorites to take home the gold medal with a star-studded roster including Stephen Curry, LeBron James, and plenty more.

    Team USA held its first practice on Saturday in preparation for the Olympics. After the practice ended, head coach Steve Kerr admitted his disbelief in how hard LeBron James was working (h/t Mark Medina of Sportskeeda).

    "I was blown away by how hard he practices."

    Kerr even asked, "Is this normal?" Ty Lue and Erik Spoelstra, both former LeBron coaches, had a simple answer: "Every day."

    Even at the age of 39 and more than two decades of playing in the NBA, he is still one of the hardest workers and one of the best players in the game.

    This past season, LeBron put Father Time to the side once again. He averaged 25.7 PPG with 8.3 assists and 7.3 rebounds in 71 regular season contests.

    LeBron also signed a two-year deal with the Lakers, although he changed his contract a bit to give the team a little more financial flexibility.

    Team USA will face Canada in an exhibition game on July 10 in Las Vegas, and it will be worth watching to see how LeBron plays this time around.
