LeBron James said on Thursday that he would "love to be a part" of Team USA's 2012 Olympic team.

"I would love to be a part of that team," James said. "I think it's an unbelievable thing to represent your country. If Coach [Mike Krzyzewski] needs me to be a part of that team, I'm available. Hopefully, I'm healthy enough to be a part of that team. But I'm always up for the Olympics and representing my country.

"Coach K has my number, I have his number. If he needs me, I'm there."
