James and Team USA have been dominant throughout the Olympics, going unbeaten through the group phase before beating Brazil in the quarterfinal and Serbia in the semifinal to advance to the gold-medal game against France.

Nikola Jokić and Serbia gave the United States a scare, but it ultimately completed a fourth-quarter comeback to keep its gold medal hopes alive.

Team USA will square off against a tough France team that features plenty of NBA talent on Saturday. The French boast a roster highlighted by rising star Victor Wembanyama along with Rudy Gobert, Nicolas Batum and Evan Fournier.

France picked up a few impressive wins against Canada and Germany on its way to the final, and it will look to add another big win to the list by taking down the United States.

James has been electric for Team USA, averaging 14.2 points, 8.2 assists and seven boards per game through five games. Wearing a new pair of shoes on Saturday, he'll look to continue his excellent play and lead America to a fifth consecutive gold medal.
