NBA superstar LeBron James is featured on the cover of the August 2008 issue of Time Magazine.
In the cover story, King James guarantees that the United States will win a gold medal in men’s basketball at the 2008 Olympics in Beijing. Here is an excerpt from the article:
LeBron: “It’s going to be like waking up on Christmas Day,” says James picturing himself on the stand being presented Beijing’s gold medal. “All you dreamed about this whole month was having that bike you wanted, and you get down to your living room — it’s there. It’s like one of the greatest things that has ever happened to you.”
Time magazine: So you’re going to bring a hoops title back home to the U.S., the country that gave birth to the game, reared it and then lost the ball to more graceful global neighbors?
LeBron: “Absolutely,” James responds. Guarantee it? “Absolutely.”
Team USA is a heavy favorite to win gold this year at Beijing, despite not having won a major title since the 2000 Olympics. LeBron James is also listed at No. 1 of 100 Olympic Athletes to Watch, so we’re expecting big things from “the Redeem Team.”
