LeBron James on Olympics MVP Award: 'Super-Humbled That They Even Voted for Me'

LeBron James is feeling appreciative of receiving Olympic MVP honors.

The 39-year-old won his third career gold medal on Saturday when Team USA defeated France 98-87 in the championship game. In addition to the medal, he was voted the MVP of the tournament and said that he was "super-humbled" to receive the honor.

"It's an honor. I don't know who the voting committee, or whatever the case may be, but super-humbled that they even voted for me," James said, per Marc J. Spears of Andscape. "But it came with us winning gold and that's what's more important for me. It's pretty cool."

James won the award over teammate Steph Curry, France's Victor Wembanyama and Serbia's Nikola Jokić. This was his first time winning the MVP and he is the third person to ever win the award.

James averaged 14.2 points, 8.5 assists and 6.8 rebounds across the Olympic slate. He scored 14 points, 10 assists and six rebounds in the gold medal game.

This could have been James' last Olympics, as he said he "can't see myself playing in Los Angeles" for the 2028 Olympics, per Spears. If so, he would end his Olympic career with three gold medals, a bronze and a tournament MVP award.
