LeBron James was Team USA’s third leading scorer in 2012, but his imprint was all over that team’s games.
On a roster that included both Chris Paul and Deron Williams at or near the peak of their powers, LeBron led the way with an average of 5.6 assists (against just 1.0 turnovers per game).
And when he was trying to score, he looked darn-near unstoppable. Over his eight games for that year’s Team USA, LeBron made 71.7 percent of his two-point attempts.
In true LeBron fashion, he made some history at those games, too. There are only two triple-doubles in the history of men’s basketball at the Olympics, and one of them came in 2012, when James had 11 points, 14 rebounds and 12 assists in a win over Australia.
