Q&As with LeBron Raymone James via NBA.com »

LeBron James traded his wine-and-gold 23 for a red, white and blue 6 this summer. He also left behind his leading scorer role in exchange for hard work and humility to play along his USA teammates. Here, he’s the player who prefers to pass the ball. Every pass he makes has been a lethal attack to the opposing team’s defense. It’s a new side of LeBron and a great new phase to watch on the USA Basketball team. Following the U.S. team’s third victory against Canada, NBA.com spoke with one of the team’s captains about his role and expectations in this tournament.

Q: What do you think about this tournament’s format? Do you think it’s necessary to have such a long second week?
A: I’m not worried about that, we are spending this time with the entire team. We know we have to play a lot of games and have to keep the same energy in every game.

USA Basketball photo recap: U.S.A. vs Brazil »

Another game, another easy victory for the U.S. National Team. Behind 21 points from Carmelo Anthony and LeBron James, the USA cruised past previously unbeaten Brazil to end the preliminary round of the FIBA Americas Champioship with a 113-76 win on Sunday. Anthony and James got a helping hand from Kobe Bryant (20 points), as well as a stifling defensive effort that limited Brazil to 39.1 percent shooting and Leandro Barbosa, who had led the tournament in scoring, to just four points on 1-for-7 from the floor. The U.S Team moved to 4-0 with the victory.

At the beginning of this month we’ve posted some info about the release of Upper Deck’s LeBron James Fruity Pebbles figure. This limited vinyl features King James wearing the Hardwood Classic jersey and the “Family Size” aka Fruity Pebbles edition of the Nike Zoom LeBron IV as he did on 12/1/2006 in a NBA match-up vs. Atlanta Hawks. Thanks to tsikenjoy we are able to see both memorabilia at the same time.
