LeBron James Set To Leave Team USA

LeBron James has likely already played his last game for Team USA, according to Yahoo! Sports reporter Marc J. Spears. Widely regarded as the world's best player, coming off a historic stretch that's seen four MVP trophies in five seasons and two straight NBA championships, James will not play for Team USA in the 2014 World Championships in Spain, and probably won't compete in the 2016 Olympics either. 

As he ages, James will likely focus on rest, his family, and other endeavors that he'll need in order to have as much success as possible in the NBA during its offseason. He's already competed in three Olympic games, winning two gold medals. 

USA Basketball director Jerry Colangelo recently said Kevin Durant was "kind of the face of USA Basketball going forward," indicating James would no longer be a part of the program.
