Miami Heat and Team USA star LeBron James has insisted that it is still too early for him to decide on whether or not he will play in the Olympics in 2016.

James will not be part of the team that travels to Spain this summer for the World Championships, as he concedes that he will need time to rest.

"I don't know where I stand for 2016. Obviously, if I'm healthy in 2016 that summer, if I can get to leading our country by playing, then that would be great to be a part of that," he said, Fox Sports Florida reports.

The two-time NBA champion has been to the last three Olympics, picking up bronze in Athens before golds in both Beijing and London.
