Before naming James to the 2008 Olympic team, Team USA managing director Jerry Colangelo and coach Mike Krzyzewski gave James an ultimatum to improve his attitude, and he heeded their advice.[1][273] At the FIBA Americas Championship 2007, he averaged 18.1 points, 3.6 rebounds, and 4.7 assists per game, including a 31-point performance against Argentina in the championship game, the most ever by an American in an Olympic qualifier.[274] Team USA went 10–0, winning the gold medal and qualifying for the 2008 Olympics in Beijing, China.[4] James credited the team's attitude and experience for their improvement, saying: "I don't think we understood what it meant to put on a USA uniform and all the people that we were representing in 2004. We definitely know that now."[275] At the Olympics, Team USA went unbeaten, winning their first gold medal since 2000.[276] In the final game, James turned in 14 points, 6 rebounds, and 3 assists against Spain.[277]
