PARIS - Lebron James, who helped the United States defeat France in the men's basketball gold medal game on Saturday, said he could not imagine himself playing at the next Summer Olympics in Los Angeles in 2028.

Asked if he would contemplate playing in the next Olympics on US soil, the 39-year-old said: "No, I can't see myself playing in L.A., but I also didn't see myself playing in Paris.

"Four years from now, no, I can't see myself (playing at the Olympics)."
