USA swimmer Lauren Perdue posts an Instagram photo of her and LeBron James to her Twitter account.
LeBron James and the United States men's basketball team plan on bringing home the gold.
But it was plans of a different kind that the NBA's regular season and NBA Finals MVP made in London that briefly sent the Twitterverse ablaze: his dinner plans.
LEBRON, TEAM USA PARTY ON DAY OFF
USA swimmer Lauren Perdue tweeted that LeBron had asked her to dinner.
Perdue (@LoPerdue) tweeted "Lebron James just invited me to dinner... Um wuuuutttt?!?" She also sent out an Instagram picture of her standing with a horn-rim clad James and the caption "Oh heyy Lebon."

Even crazier? She turned him down, citing curfew for athletes in the Olympic Village. The tweet has since been deleted.
Now, before the rumors fly about the recently-engaged James and Perdue, the 21-year-old Olympian cleared up the situation for the Charlotte Observer.
"He was kind of joking but he was basically like, 'Would you like to come eat with me at the dining hall?' And I said, 'Um, I'm sorry, I have a curfew. So I turned that one down, yeah," Perdue said.
The report also says the former North Carolina swimmer added "LeBron was 'gracious' and and certainly didn't imply that he was asking her to anything other than a meal at the Olympic Village dining hall."
