Miami Heat star LeBron James is coming off one of the best seasons for any NBA player. He joined Michael Jordan as one of the only players to win a MVP award, a championship, a Finals MVP award and an Olympic gold medal.

At 27 years old, James is still in his prime. However, by the time the 2016 Olympic games come by, he will be 31 and a little out of it possibly. Could he still play in Rio?

According to James himself, he will. He would love to play in his fourth Olympics.

"We haven't had that conversation," James told the Associated Press. "But if I'm healthy, I did the math and I'll be 31, and if I have the opportunity to be out there, I will do it. I love it. I love being a part of it and representing my country. I don't know what may happen in four years, but it would be great to be back out there again. Definitely."

Anything can happen in four years, but it's most likely judging off the past that he will be just fine. However, if James is in it, I think New York Knicks' Carmelo Anthony might as well be in it as well.

Heck, being the athlete James is though, he could probably play in a fifth Olympics as well.
