The captain of the new World basketball champion Germany, Dennis Schroder, said there is a 50:50 chance for the NBA superstar LeBron James to play for the United States at the Olympic basketball tournament in Paris next year.<\/p>\n
The Americans had to settle for fourth place at the World Championships, which ended a week ago in Manila, Philippines, defeated by the Germans in the semifinals.<\/p>\n
This American team featured mostly NBA players, but none of the league’s top stars.\u00a0The Los Angeles Lakers<\/a>‘ James, a 2008 and 2012 Olympic champion and former teammate of Schr\u00f6der who is now with the Toronto Raptors<\/a>, is among those mentioned.<\/p>\n “I wrote to LeBron and asked him. He said the chances are 50:50,” Schroder told ZDF television on Saturday night.<\/p>\n Schr\u00f6der added that Germany will not be afraid of an American team with stars like James and Stephen Curry<\/a> of the Golden State Warriors<\/a>. “With this team, it doesn’t really matter who we play. If we do our job well, there’s no need to hide,” Schroder shared.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The captain of the new World basketball champion Germany, Dennis Schroder, said there is a 50:50 chance for the NBA superstar LeBron James […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":137,"featured_media":459444,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false},"tags":[18356,20404,16972],"news_category":[16706],"gn_keywords":[18357,20405,17644],"acf":{"announce":"The German is not afraid to face NBA's big stars next year in France","video":[]},"rank_math_focus_keyword":"","rank_math_description":"","rank_math_title":"","rank_math_robots":"","rank_math_canonical_url":"","rank_math_facebook_title":"","rank_math_facebook_description":"","rank_math_facebook_image":"","rank_math_twitter_title":"","rank_math_twitter_description":"","rank_math_twitter_image":"","rank_math_snippet_shortcode":"","rank_math_primary_category":"","rankmath_seo":{"focus_keyword":"","description":"","title":"","canonical_url":"","robots":"","facebook":{"title":"","description":"","image":""},"twitter":{"title":"","description":"","image":""}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news\/459426"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/news"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/137"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=459426"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news\/459426\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":459452,"href":"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news\/459426\/revisions\/459452"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/459444"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=459426"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=459426"},{"taxonomy":"news_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news_category?post=459426"},{"taxonomy":"gn_keywords","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/gn_keywords?post=459426"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
