Top 5 players who could lead 2024 Paris Olympics Basketball in scoring ft. LeBron James

#3 LeBron James, USA

The NBA’s all-time leading scorer has to be in the mix for the 2024 Paris Olympics basketball scoring title. In Team USA’s close wins against South Sudan and Germany, Steve Kerr went almost exclusively to James. The four-time NBA MVP has remained almost impossible to guard when asked to step up.

Only the Americans’ ridiculously stacked roster and James’ pass-first mentality could stop him from topping this category.

#2 Steph Curry, USA

Steve Kerr has made LeBron James Team USA’s point guard to allow Steph Curry the freedom to roam and do damage with his shooting. Oddsmakers have the Golden State Warriors as the favorite to lead the Americans in scoring. He might just do it while topping the 2024 Paris Olympics basketball in points per game.

Kerr knows extremely well what helps Curry get going. Basketball fans saw what he did against Serbia in the pre-Olympic game in Abu Dhabi. If he can have nights like those, he could rule the field in Paris.

#1 Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Canada

Only Luka Doncic was better than Shai Gilgeous-Alexander in scoring in the 2023 FIBA World Cup. Olympics “SGA” might be even better than the one that competed last summer in the Philippines. Some thought the OKC Thunder guard should have won the NBA MVP award over Nikola Jokic last season.

Unlike the Americans who are stacked with scoring machines, Gilgeous-Alexander is Canada’s most potent offensive weapon. He was the biggest reason the Canadians won the bronze in the FIBA World Cup.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has an excellent chance to win the 2024 Paris Olympics basketball scoring title.
