After the game, James said in an interview that this would be his last Olympics and he would not participate in the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics.

James said, "No, I don't think I'll be at the Los Angeles Olympics. I didn't even think I'd be at the Paris Olympics. Four years from now, no, I won't play anymore."
