"BOOK EM" - LeBron James salutes Devin Booker's Olympic journey footage

NBA star LeBron James showed love to Team USA teammate Devin Booker on Tuesday after the latter posted a vlog of his Olympic experience. The 2024 Paris Olympics ended with a bang for the Americans as they went home with a gold medal.

While James and Booker play for rival teams in the NBA, they made it work while playing for the national team this summer. The Lakers forward shared Booker's recent post on his Instagram story and saluted the four-time NBA All-Star.

​

"Book em!!," James posted.

James shared Booker's Olympic vlog on Instagram.

With their recent win in France, this marked Booker's second Olympic gold medal following his stint at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. On the other hand, this was James's third. The 6-foot-9 forward won the MVP award of the tournament after putting up 14.2 points, 6.8 rebounds and 8.5 assists in six games.

As for Booker, Team USA coach Steve Kerr named him the "unsung MVP" as he averaged 11.7 points and 3.3 assists. The Suns star shot 56.8% from the field and 56.5% from beyond the arc.

LeBron James puts his Olympic gold medals in order

Winning an Olympic gold medal is one of the greatest feats that an athlete can achieve in their professional career. For LeBron James, he was fortunate enough to win three gold medals and etch his name in basketball history.

Given this achievement, he was asked by The Athletic's Sam Amick about his favorite among the three.

​

"I mean, (this) is the best one because it’s the one that’s right now," James said.

"I mean, obviously the Redeem Team had a lot of — you know, we had to come back, because we had a couple years where we weren’t playing to our capability. So in '08, we had the Redeem Team come back, and then in '12 we played some good ball as well and were able to win that in London."

There's a chance that he could add another gold medal to his collection, but it's also likely that the 2024 Olympics was his final run. The next Summer Olympics will take place in Los Angeles in 2028, but James would be 43 years old by then and no one's sure if he'll still be active in basketball at that age.

​

"Nah, I can't see myself playing in Los Angeles 2028. I didn't see myself playing in Paris 2024, too. But four years from now, I can't see it," James said to the media after their Olympic win.
