Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James was named basketball MVP of the 2024 Paris Games after he helped lead Team USA to a gold medal victory, and now the 39-year-old NBA legend has imprinted the Olympics logo on his arm to forever commemorate this achievement.
The tattoo artist known as Ganga Tattoo was the one who was given the responsibility of tatting up arguably the greatest player of all-time.

LeBron made the decision to get inked with the five rings logo on his left arm, just a couple months after winning his third-ever gold medal (2008 Beijing; 2012 London; 2024 Paris).
To point out, he was the team captain of the team, and saved Team USA down the stretch in many games. Notably, he averaged 14.2 points, 8.2 rebounds, and 10.2 assists, while being the first player in Olympic history to record two triple doubles.
Important to remember, the Olympics will take place in 2028 at LeBron's backyard in Los Angeles. With this in mind, King James will be 43 years old, so in regards to his participation anything is possible for LeBron, as he has certainly defied Father Time throughout his career.
That is to say, in his 21st season in the NBA, he put up impressive numbers of 25.7 points (54% FG, 41% 3PT), 7.3 rebounds, and 8.3 assists.
"No, I can't see myself playing in L.A.," LeBron said before pointing out, "but I also didn't see myself playing in Paris."
Nike just dropped “The Tattoo” a film directed by Hiro Murai about LeBron James getting his ‘Chosen 1’ tattoo as a teenager.
