LeBron James won his third gold medal at the Paris Olympics, marking a successful redemption from his initial bronze medal finish at his first Olympics trip.
The 2008 Beijing Olympics incident, where James dunked on Carlos Boozer during a Team USA practice, highlighted some underlying tensions.

This incident touches on the missed potential of their partnership, which could have significantly changed the trajectory of James's career had Boozer remained a teammate with him.
